Preparation

Fill a big stockpot half full of water and boil on high heat. Add about 1/4 cup salt per gallon of water. Add seafood seasoning and celery.

When water boils, add sausages and boil 5 to 6 minutes. Next, add corn, crabs and prawns and boil 5 to 6 minutes more. Make sure everything is submerged (add more boiling water to cover, if necessary). Add shrimp and cook 3 to 4 minutes more.

Drain in a big colander (this becomes your serving vessel). Or put in a bowl and serve. Or, be very traditional and dump everything on a newspaper-lined wooden table and it's everyone for himself!

Lots of crusty bread (and chunks of Canadian cheese, of course) on the side; also little tubs of melted butter for dipping...
