Instructions

Add potatoes to a large pot, and then add the water and seasonings. Cover the pot and heat to a rolling boil. Cook for 5 minutes.
Add the sausage and corn, and return to a boil. Cook for 10 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
Add shrimp and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until shrimp turn pink. Drain well and dump the pot onto a newspaper-covered picnic table.

Notes

Make sure that all the shrimp you use is sustainably caught. From North Carolina to the Florida Keys, you can check the “Good Catch Partner” listings to see what’s local and what’s sustainable. Nationally, take a look at the Local Catch Network to find local seafood.
