Ingredients:

Serving

6 large sweet onions, cut in half
6 cobs sweet corn, cleaned and cut in half
36 medium red potatoes
12 sausage links , cut in 1/3 's
2 (11 oz) boxes frozen artichoke hearts
3 lbs mussels
3 lbs clams
5 lbs snow crabs
4 lobster tails ( you can add more
4 lbs large shrimp, peels and tails on
4 lemons, cut in quarters
3 (12 oz) bottles beer
old bay seasoning (3/4 cup old bay to 6 quarts of water, the amount of water depends on how many ingredients. i try to )

Directions:

Method - The only method to this is layering, One or two layers of an ingredient, cook a bit, then the next layers, cook, etc., it is very easy. Drain, serve and enjoy! The only prep, is cutting the onions and lemons. When I buy my seafood, I also make sure the fish guy cleans my mussels and clams so I don't have to worry about that when I get home, but I do rinse them just to be safe but I don't have to clean them, just a quick rinse is all they need. The rest you can just throw inches.
Rinse and brush your potatoes well. Now large ones, I cut in half, medium to small, I just leave whole, either way. Cut the large onions in half, thaw the artichokes and quarter your lemons.
Boiling Liquid - Add the beer and water to equal 6 quarts along with 3/4 cups Old Bay and bring to a boil.
As it starts to boil reduce the heat to medium high and add in the onions and potatoes and cover. Add 1-2 lemon wedges. Cook 5-7 minutes.
Then add in the corn (cobs cut in half, silk cleaned), also the sausage links cut in 1/2 or 1/3'rds, cover again for 5-7 minutes.
Then add in the artichokes and a couple lemon wedges, topped with lobster, mussels, clams, crab and more lemon and cover again, about 10 more minutes until the mussels and clams begin to open.
If you need more water, add another 3 quarts and 2/3 cup Old Bay and turn to high and bring to a boil, covered, and then reduce back to medium. Just keep an eye on the clams and mussels. When they start to open is when you want to add the shrimp.
Add the shrimp and the remaining lemon wedges, squeeze a couple on top of the shrimp, cover, and cook until the shrimp are pink and they begin to curl.
Turn off the heat. DONE! Just lift up the strainer, or drain if just using a pot on the stove or grill and pour everything on the table.
It is the best meal ever, and fun. Now, I make a spicy cocktail sauce and a garlic herb butter, but use what you like. Grill or just bake some bread to soak up the butter sauce and enjoy with the seafood. I served some roasted tomato soup with this once which was really good and then just a fresh tomato bread salad another time, so please serve what you like, but it is so much fun. And I say this serves 6 possible 8-10 depending of your guests, so have fun what you add.
