Beaufort Stew

The main ingredients are:
shell-on prawns (Asda do them);
red (Desiree) potatoes, whole if small (currently unavailable here, I substituted a sweet potato which did just as well, but dont cook for too long);
corn on the cob sliced in half, or baby corns from the greengrocer;
sausages (veggie sausages will do), cut into 2 inch pieces;
Old Bay Seasoning (see below).
Optional: crab legs

Boil ample water in a pan and add a teaspoon of Old Bay Seasoning, the sausage and the corn. Boil for ten minutes and add the potato (shouldnt be larger than around 2 ins square. Boil for a further 10 minutes. Add the shrimps.
Continue to boil for another 10 minutes or so, drain and discard the liquid.
Serve piping hot in large bowls with crusty bread or crackers. No cutlery but have available a discard bowl and kitchen roll. Eat with fingers.
We found the taste, texture and fingeriness ideal as a really fun way of eating.

Old Bay seasoning does not appear to be a UK staple, so I looked here and then went to the health food shop/deli and got the following ingredients although in considerably larger quantities.

1Tbsp Celery Seed
1Tbsp Whole Black Peppercorns
6 Bay Leaves
1/2 Tsp Whole Cardamom
1/2 Tsp Mustard Seed
4 Whole Cloves
1 Tsp Sweet Hungarian Paprika
1/4 Tsp Mace

The proportions are correct and you'll have plenty left over as you only need a teaspoonful.
A spice grinder, a pestle and mortar and a fine seive are primitive substitutes for a modern food processor, but they do the job with a lot of elbow grease and sweeping up afterwards. The bay leaves are a pig to do in a spice grinder, or a pestle and mortar. Dont use a juicer, it just doesnt work,
