6 lbs. shrimp, headed and washed
6 lbs. smoked sausage, cut in pieces
20 ears of corn, broken in half
1 lb. butter
4 lg. onions, cut in chunks
4 bell peppers, cut in quarters
6 pods garlic
3 lbs. Irish potatoes, scrubbed and left in their jackets
Salt and pepper to taste

In huge pot, cook sausage in water for about 20 minutes. Add remaining ingredients except headed shrimp. Cook until potatoes are almost done. Add shrimp and cook until just tender. Drain off water.

Cover table (s) with newspaper. Take pot of "boil" and throw it out on the table (s) as though you were throwing out a bucket of water. Let everyone help themselves, using paper plates. Have plenty of iced tea on hand and if you like, some slices of Vienna or French bread smeared with garlic butter.
