Ingredients
- 1 pack Zatarain's crawfish, shrimp, and crab boil-in bag seasoning
- 2 package smoked sausage or kielbasa, cut into ½-inch slices
- 1 pound baby red potatoes halved
- 3 ears corn husked, each carefully cut into 4 sections (for a total of 12
- 1 medium lemon quartered
- 2 pounds Shrimp peeled, deveined, tails removed, medium, uncooked
Butter Sauce
- 1 ½ cups unsalted butter melted
- 1 large yellow onion cut into half-moon slices
- 2 tablespoons garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon light brown sugar packed
- ¼ cup Old Bay seasoning
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Toppings
- 1 medium lemon cut into wedges (for serving
- parsley for garnish
- Old Bay seasoning to taste, additional
Instructions
- Fill a large pot over medium heat with 3 quarts of water. Add the Zatarain's seasoning packet, smoked sausage, red potatoes, corn, and lemon. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. While this is simmering, prepare the butter sauce.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the sliced onion and cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until the onion is softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- To the butter sauce, mix in the brown sugar, Old Bay seasoning, and lemon juice. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
- When ready, add the shrimp to the pot and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Reserve ¼ cup of the liquid from the pot and set aside. (You will use this in the next step.) Drain the remaining liquid from the pot and discard the seasoning packet.
- Add the reserved broth to the butter sauce, stirring to combine.
- Place the contents of the pot of shrimp and sausage onto a serving platter, sheet pan, or table lined with butcher paper. Drizzle or pour the butter sauce over the seafood boil and serve with lemon wedges.
- Garnish with parsley and sprinkle additional Old Bay seasoning to taste.
