Cook the Shrimp
Drain and Serve
In the last 5-7 minutes of cooking (with the corn), add 1-2 dozen littleneck clams or mussels. Add crab legs along with the shrimp.
If you can't find Andouille, smoked kielbasa or any other firm, smoked sausage will work well.
Add quartered artichokes with the potatoes, or pearl onions and whole mushrooms with the sausage and corn.
For a spicier boil, add a tablespoon of cayenne pepper or a few dashes of your favorite hot sauce to the broth. For a milder version, slightly reduce the Old Bay Seasoning.

Yes, you can. For best results, thaw the shrimp completely under cold running water before adding them to the pot. Do not add them frozen, as it will drastically lower the water temperature and affect cooking times.
Smoked Andouille sausage is the traditional and most authentic choice due to its spicy, smoky flavor. However, high-quality smoked kielbasa is a great and widely available substitute.
Frogmore Stew is best served immediately after cooking for the best texture, especially for the shrimp. Reheating can make the shrimp tough and the potatoes mushy. It's not recommended to make it ahead.
