Fill two large pots with water and add bay leaves and a bottle of beer to each pot.

Bring the water in both pots to a rolling boil.

Add half a cup of Old Bay seasoning to each pot.

Add red potatoes and onion to both pots.

Squeeze one or two lemons into the pots and drop the rest in for flavor.

Cook the potatoes and onions for about 10 minutes.

Add kielbasa and corn to both pots and wait for the water to return to a boil.

Cook the kielbasa and corn for about 15 minutes.

Add jumbo shrimp to both pots, ensuring they are not peeled and still have tails on.

Cook the shrimp for no more than 4-5 minutes until they turn pink.

Drain the contents of the pots into a colander, as this is not a soup.

Serve the shrimp boil on a table covered with newspaper or paper for everyone to eat off of.
