- In a 16-quart stockpot, heat water over high heat. Add beer and spice bag. Cover and bring to a boil. Add potatoes; cover and boil 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a large skillet cook sausage over medium heat about 5 minutes or until lightly browned. Add sausage and onion to stockpot; cover and boil 5 minutes. Add green beans and crab; cover and boil 3 minutes.
- Add shrimp; cover and boil 2 to 3 minutes until shrimp are pink and crab is a medium-red color. Do not overcook. Use tongs to remove crab and a large sieve to remove smaller ingredients; transfer to an oversize platter or large baking sheet. Serve with fresh lemons and cocktail sauce, if desired.
