- 2 bay leaves
- 1 head garlic cut in half
- 1 beer
- 12 ounces baby potatoes halved
- 1 pound head-on shrimp
- 1 pound crab legs
- 1 pound fresh mussels
Instructions

- Bring to a boil and add the potatoes. Boil for 15 minutes.
- Add the seafood, turn off the heat and let sit, covered for 15-20 minutes.

Notes
- Will need a very large stock pot so everything will fit (a Dutch oven will be too small).
- You can use whatever types of seafood you like in place of what is called for in the recipe - as long as it is about 3-4 pounds. Fresh is best.
- If you prefer not to cook with alcohol, you can omit the beer.
- Any type of smoked sausage will work for this recipe. Add more or less as you prefer.
- Fresh or frozen corn on the cob will work great.
