With spring coming (hopefully soon) my thoughts turn to things like this
dish.

Frogmore Stew

In a large pot, boil 1 pound link pork sausage (if you can get Frogmore
sausage, go for it!), 3 lbs. new potatoes covered with water and beer. Add
1 large chopped onion and bell pepper, 3 chopped ribs of celery, 2 Tbs. Old
Bay or similar seasoning, salt & pepper. Boil for 10 minutes. Add 6 fresh
blue crabs, 6 ears corn on the cob cut into pieces and boil 10 minutes. Add
3 lbs. fresh shrimp, unpeeled but deveined. Boil for 3 minutes. Remove the
pot from heat and let stand 5 minutes. Drain. Serve this up with a bucket
in the middle of the table for tossing in the crab/shrimp shells and corn
cobs. This makes a great picnic sort of dish. Serve with additional
seafood seasoning and Tabasco sauce on the side. Don't forget the beer and
the checked oilskin tablecloth!
