How To Make franks butter and beer seafood pot`

  • Step 1
    Prepare and wash seafood thoroughly. Keep in a clean place in the fridge, or on ice. Keep in mind, the Seafood mentioned is only a suggestion-buy what you like.
  • Step 2
    In a very large stock pot, big enough to fit all seafood, melt butter. Add garlic and saute until golden-add a pinch of red pepper flake at this stage if you like a little more "kick"
  • Step 3
    Add two bottles of beer, slowly. Add a generous amount of crab seasoning to the pot-at least a 1/4 cup. More to taste. Bring to a simmer-Add clams, mussels and shrimp. 2 minutes later, add the layer of crab on top of pot. Shellfish will cook while the crab steams.
  • Step 4
    The pot is done when clams and mussels open and shrimp is cooked through and pink. Transfer to a large serving bowl, arrange seafood to look pretty and sprinkle with crab seasoning just before serving.
  • Step 5
    Dot the seafood with dabs of softened butter and have a large crusty loaf of bread on hand or pasta to soak up every last bit of this delicious juice!
