In a large pot add in the butter, water, lemons, onion, garlic, old bay seasoning, parsley flakes, and bay leaves. Turn the heat to high, and let boil for 30 minutes.
Reduce the heat to medium, then add in the smoked sausage and potatoes. Let the potatoes cook for about 15 minutes, then add in the corn
Make sure you do a taste test on the "boil" (the liquid). If it doesn't meet your standards and more seasonings... If it does, move to the next step.
Once the potatoes are tender, add in the crab legs.
Steam the clams on top of the boil. DO NOT boil the clams in the pot, otherwise the clams will detach from the shells, and get lost in the pot :-( .
The clams are done once the shells open. If the clam shells don't open, that means it's a bad clam, and it needs to be tossed!
Once the clams are done, remove them and set them to the side.
Last but not least, add in the shrimp ( I left the shells on, but I removed the veins). Remove the pot from the heat, stir the ingredients, and let sit for 3 - 5 minutes.
Remove the food from the pot, but reserve the liquid. Place the food on your chosen platter.
Place the clams into the POT, and stir( to season them up a bit). Then add them to the platter.
ENJOY!!!!
