Instructions

Step 1

Bring water, salt and Old Bay seasoning to a boil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven.

Step 2

Add whole potatoes, reduce heat slightly, and cook for 15 minutes.

Step 3

Add sausage and cook for 5 more minutes.

Step 4

Stir in corn; cook for 3 more minutes.

Step 5

Add shrimp and cook until pink, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 6

Remove all of the ingredients from the water and serve on a large platter, in individual bowls, or on a picnic table lined with newspapers * Serve this dish in the summer when you can get sweet local corn on the cob. * Leave the shrimp shells on for cooking and let your guests do the peeling. This makes for easier prep, but it also gives the stew the best flavor. Better yet if you can find shrimp with the heads on! * For extra flavor, boil the stew in beer or stock, rather than water. * Add live blue crabs to the boil! They can go into the pot at the same time as the corn. * Recipe calls for hot smoked sausage, but you can substitute with just about any fully-cooked sausage -- such as andouille, kielbasa, or smoked chicken sausage or turkey sausage.
