Instructions: Boil water in a very large steam kettle on stove or on an outdoor cooker. Season water with your choice of mentioned flavorings along with a little lemon juice or vinegar. Add potatoes, carrots, sausage and onions. Bring back to a boil and boil until almost tender.

Add corn-on-the-cobb and crabs and boil for 5 minutes longer. Finally, add shrimp and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes more, or until shrimp are just cooked. Enjoy with cornbread, slaw and watermelon!

Comments: A Low Country favorite, this is a great feast to serve on picnics, barge cruises or in your own dining room. Be sure to have plenty of napkins on hand!
