Now get a large pot of water boiling and add add 2-3 packages of shrimp boil (1/4th cup in using liquid.)

At t=00 mins: add Kielbasa (1/2 ring per person, cut into 1-1/2" chunks 
At t=10 mins: add Corn on the Cob (1-1/2 ears /person, cut in 3rds) 
At t=14 mins. add Shrimp. (Raw,  1/3rd Lb. /person)
At t=17 mins. add Fresh Snow Pea Pods (allow 1 handful/person)
At t=20 mins. DONE Cooking

Now, drain all the liquid and once drained and dump in center of a prepared table. Table cover i a two layer process - thick layers of newspaper then covered with a layers of paper towels. Make sure napkins hang over edge to allow for napkin use.

Each couple shares: wine, stick of butter, cocktail sauce, mustard, loaf of bread.
