Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Clean the shrimp, crab, and mussels thoroughly. Halve the red potatoes and cut the corn into thirds. Mince the garlic cloves and set aside.

Cooking

    Boil the Potatoes and Corn

    In a large pot, bring 4 quarts of water to a boil. Add 2 tablespoons of salt and the halved red potatoes. Boil for about 10 minutes, then add the corn pieces and continue boiling for another 5 minutes.
