Start by adding potatoes to seasoned boiling water, then add sausage, next corn, add lobster and crab legs, cook for 5 minutes, then add shrimp and cook for about 3 or 4 minutes. More seafood can always be added to boiling water/broth. Broth can be held refrigerated for a few days.
Appox. total boil time: 30 minutes
Potatoes = Go in 1st and cook for 10 to 12 minutes (of course this depends on size). Use fork or butter knife to determine. You don't want them soft done but firm done at first because they will get more heat throughout the end of total cooking time.
Sausage = 10 or15 minutes after start (potatoes) whether cooked in oven first or not.
Corn = goes in with sausage
Lobster - Crab = go in 10 minutes after sausage / corn
Shrimp = 10 minutes after lobster / crab (and turn fire off)
To make it even easier:
In boiling water place potatoes, corn, sausage, all spices
15 or 20 minutes later add lobster and crab legs
10 minutes later add shrimp (make sure all seafood is under broth and turn fire off). Shrimp will cook in the bubbling hot broth.
Serve
