Preparation
1. Prepare the Ingredients
Gather all the ingredients and prepare them as follows: halve the potatoes, cut the corn into thirds, and cut the lemons into wedges. Ensure the shrimp are peeled and deveined.
Cooking
2. Boil the Water
In a large pot, add 4 quarts of water along with 2 tablespoons of salt, 1 tablespoon of Old Bay seasoning, crushed garlic cloves, and bay leaves. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over high heat.
3. Cook the Potatoes
Once the water is boiling, add the halved red potatoes to the pot. Cook for about 10 minutes or until they are slightly tender.
4. Add Corn and Crab
After the potatoes have cooked for 10 minutes, add the corn on the cob and the Dungeness crab to the pot. Continue to boil for another 5-7 minutes.
5. Add Shrimp
Finally, add the shrimp to the pot and boil for an additional 3-5 minutes until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.
6. Drain and Serve
Turn off the heat and carefully drain the contents of the pot into a large colander. Transfer the seafood and vegetables to a serving platter, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top, and serve immediately with additional lemon wedges on the side.
