A traditional shrimp boil is a social, communal meal eaten on a table lined with newspaper or butcher paper. Set out plates of butter, wedges of lemon and several kinds of hot sauce to accompany the shrimp and vegetables. Kielbasa sausage and Old Bay seasoning are used in the classic version; add clams, mussels or crabs for a mixed seafood boil.
