SURF AND TURF
Submitted by Dot!

Here's a splendid way to please a crowd of almost any age. The only
work the cook has to do is a little shucking and boiling. Let the
guests deal with the peeling and eating.

1 tablespoon crab boil
1 tablespoon butter
18 small Yukon Gold potatoes left whole
8 ears of corn, shucked and broken in half
1 package kielbasa sausage, cut into 1-inch slices
1 and 1/2 pounds large shrimp

Place the crab boil and the butter in the bottom of a very large
kettle with about a cup of water. Put a vegetable steamer over the
water. Drop all of the potatoes onto the steamer and bring the water
to a boil. Let the potatoes cook for about 8 minutes, then add the
corn and sausage. Cook another 4 minutes, then add the shrimp. When
the shrimp is perfectly pink, the whole pot is ready to eat. Dump it
all into an extremely large bowl, leaving in some of the
butter-spice-water mixture. Put it in the center of the table, give
each diner a plate, and let them dig in. Serve with Tobasco or other
hot sauce on the side. It's best with beer. Serves 8.
