From the kitchen of Carly

A Low Country one-pot loaded with smoked sausage, corn, potatoes, and seafood in a spiced broth. Old Bay and bird's-eye chiles drive the flavor. Dump everything in one pot, simmer, and you've got a crowd-feeding classic that tastes like the Lowcountry coast.

Instructions

In a large stockpot, combine 12 cups of the water or stock, the bay leaves, Old Bay, celery, onions, garlic, and chiles and bring to a boil over high heat. Add the potatoes and cook until tender, about 15 minutes.
Add the sausage and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes. Add the corn and cook until just tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in the shrimp, scallops, and wine and cook until the shrimp are cooked through, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and pour the stew into a large serving bowl. For more casual gatherings, serve directly from the pot on the stove. Garnish each serving with cilantro and serve immediately.
