Ingredients

2 whole bay leaves
3/4 cup old bay seasoning
3 tablespoons salt
2 teaspoons black peppercorns
2 pounds new potatoes
2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes quartered
2 large yellow onions quartered
2 pounds kielbasa chopped
1 pound clams scrubbed
8 ears corn halved
3 pounds large shrimp peeled
1 cup seafood boil sauce
2 small lemons quartered
1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped

Instructions

Add 6 quarts of water to a 12-quart pot, along with bay leaves, salt, peppercorns, and the old bay seasoning. Bring to a boil. Add potatoes and cook for 7-8 minutes. Add sausage, clams, and onions, and boil for five more minutes.
Give the boiling liquid a taste test and add more salt or Old Bay seasoning, if needed. Add corn and continue boiling until cooked and the potatoes are tender. Add the shrimp and simmer until no longer pink, around one minute. Drain everything.
Transfer the shrimp boil to a large serving dish and dust with more old bay seasoning. Drizzle the seafood boil sauce over the top. Decorate with fresh parsley and lemon slices.
