Instructions
- Cut 2 of the lemons into quarters. Cut the remaining lemon into wedges and reserve the wedges for later use.
- Fill a large pot with 12-14 cups of water. Place the 2 quartered lemons in the water along with the Old Bay seasoning, garlic and onion. Bring to a boil.
- Add the potatoes to the pot and cook for 10-12 minutes or until just tender.
- Add the crab, corn and sausage and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
- Add the shrimp to the pot and cook for 2-3 minutes or until pink and opaque.
- Drain the shrimp mixture from the pot, reserving 1 cup of the broth.
- Melt the butter and whisk it into the reserved broth. Pour the broth over the shrimp and crab mixture.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and lemon wedges. Sprinkle with additional Old Bay seasoning to taste, then serve immediately.
Notes
- I recommend buying the largest shrimp you can find for this recipe. I use 16-20 count jumbo shrimp. You can use any type of crab such as dungeness, blue crab or snow crab. If your seafood is frozen, be sure to thaw it first.
- You can boil your shrimp with or without the shells. I typically remove the main part of the shell and just leave the tails on as it’s easier to eat this way.
