Instructions: Put water in a pot large enough (12 qt) to hold the ingredients, add the seasoning mix and the onions and celery. Bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes to infuse the water with the seasonings.Bring to a boil again and add the potatoes. Bring to a boil again. Ten minutes later add the corn. Bring to a boil again. Ten minutes later add the shrimp, cook until just done,(about 5 min), do not over cook the shrimp. The idea is to not over cook any of the main ingredients. Drain. Serve in a large bowl for all to serve themselves, or portion it if you like. Serve with soft butter in bowls for dipping. I also like to sprinkle Old Bay Seasoning on the finished product. You can make batches of this if you drain the cooking liquid into another container for re-use, rather than down the drain.
