Beaufort Stew Edisto Style

An essential recipe for any southerner who loves shrimp. This is super-easy & fun! It's suitable for 1-50 people or more. The more you cook this recipe, the more variations you'll think of, as they are endless.

Steps

Fill a large pot half-full of water.
Bring it to a boil and add old bay seasoning and the sausage.
Bring back to boil and cook about 10 minutes.
Add ears of corn and bring to boil again.
If adding potatoes , add them with the corn.
Cook about 10 minutes.
If adding frozen crab legs , add them next.
Bring mixture back to a boil and immediately add the shrimp , cooking just until the shrimp turn pink.
Remove pot from burner.
Immediately drain pot and spoon mixture into large serving bowls.
Serve with cocktail sauce , saltine crackers and plenty of napkins , hand towels or paper towels.
This is always served as a casual meal because each person peels his own shrimp and it can get messy , but everyone enjoys it.
For large groups , we usually cook it outside in a huge pot over an open gas burner , like a king kooker.
