The perfect recipe for outdoor summer hosting!!!

I found the most perfect, easiest, and delicious recipe for hosting a summer, outdoor get-together!!

We had this when I was on vacation and it managed to feed 15 adults, no muss, no fuss.

The recipe below is per person so you just multiply depending on how many people you have.

Just throw together a salad and voila! DONE!

We used a HUGE lobster pot and added the kielbasa and clams instead of the crab. It was sooooooo delicious!!!!

Ingredients1/2 lb. Large shrimp in shell (10 - 15 count)
3 Red bliss potatoes per person
1 Ear of corn per person Cut in half
2 medium Lemon cut in quarters
1/4 tsp Cayenne pepper
1/8 tsp Cloves ground
1/2 clove Garlic
1/2 Bay leaf
1/2 tsp Old Bay Seasoning
1/2 tsp Black pepper - coarse ground
2 dashes Tabasco as required

-- OPTIONAL --
1/2 lb. Keilbasa (or all meat hot dog)
2 Small onions per person
1 Carrot cut into 4ths per person
1 -2 crabs per person

Instructions: Boil water in a large kettle on stove or outdoor cooker. Season water with salt and your choice of above flavorings along with the juice of two lemons or 2 tablespoons of vinegar. Add potatoes and cook for 10 minutes. Add carrots, sausage and onions. Bring back to a boil. When potatoes and carrots are almost tender, add corn and crabs. Bring to a boil, then add shrimp. Cook a few minutes until shrimp are just done - they will be pink in color. Drain and pour into a basket or onto platters. Have cocktail sauce and Dijon mustard at hand.
