We love Boil N Pots- that we call them. We boil sausage for a while then add the taters, then the corn and shrimp. We use lemons- love it. Also have added button mushrooms and carrots- not my fave with those but makes it interesting. We love lots of Crab boil seasoning- I like the liquid form also. Great Summertime Dinner !
