Here's a dinner idea you might enjoy:
Last night we had Bible study at Jim & Connie's house, and Connie made the best dinner. She said it was super easy, and I thought it was such a fun idea. She boiled new potatoes and corn on the cob in a huge pot (with a little bit of crab boil seasoning), then added the shrimp to the pot. She had her dining table covered in layers of newspaper and a muffin cup of cocktail sauce at each place. She drained the pot of food, then dumped it out in the center of the dining table on the newspaper...she said her family calls it "dump dinner". Everyone just reached into the pile for their food--no plates needed (we did use forks for the potatoes). She served it with delicious, buttered loaves of French bread from Old Mill. Clean up was easy--just roll up the leftovers in the newspaper and toss! Definitely a dinner I want to try to make at my house. (sorry no photo--didn't have my camera)

Laurie used to make that a lot when we lived together! I saw that recently on a blog and thought I may have to do that this summer as a little party!
That's awesome!! Love that idea.
We've been to shrimp and crawfish boils...yummy!! Bryan bought a turkey fryer and wants to have all of his employees over one night.
We have had a summer crab boil party where we made a similar dish eating on a round table covered with newspaper. A HUGE steaming potful of potatoes, corn, kilbasa sausage, jumbo shrimp, and crab cooked in water with Old Bay seasoning. Melted butter, cocktail sauce, chardonay, and bread on the side. Yummmm.
