• Serve on a bed of newspapers with lemon wedges and your choice of dipping sauces such as cocktail sauce or a spicy mayo.
• *I often double this recipe and cook it in two batches to feed a crowd. However, if you have a large enough pot (usually and outdoor boil pot) you can double it and cook it all at once.
