A traditional low-country recipe gets a fresh remake with smoked turkey sausage and tender shrimp, cooked in a rich stew with plenty of vegetables and seasonings. It's ready in less than an hour.
Thaw shrimp, if frozen. Peel and devein shrimp, leaving tails intact. Rinse shrimp and pat dry with paper towels. In a 6- to 8-quart Dutch oven combine water, onion, celery, Old Bay seasoning, Cajun seasoning, and, if desired, cayenne pepper. Cover and bring to boiling.
Add potatoes and return to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for 6 minutes. Add corn pieces; return to a simmer. Cook, covered, for 5 minutes more. Add shrimp and sausage; return to a simmer. Cook, covered, for 2 to 3 minutes more or until shrimp are opaque and potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally.
Carefully drain in a large colander or remove the food using a large slotted spoon. Discard onion wedges and celery. Serve shrimp, sausage, and vegetables, if desired, with Cocktail Sauce and hot pepper sauce. Makes 6 (4 pieces potato, 2 pieces sausage, 2 pieces corn, and three shrimp each) servings.
Cocktail Sauce: In a bowl, combine chili sauce, ketchup, onion, cider vinegar, prepared horseradish, and garlic, minced. Cover and refrigerate for up to 1 week. Makes about ¾ cup.
