Ingredients
- 6 quarts water
- 1 whole lemon, cut into wedges
- 8 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed (leave whole)
- 1 large yellow onion, quartered
- 1/2 cup Old Bay seasoning
- 1 pound medium red potatoes, quartered (leave the skin on)
- 3 teaspoon salt
- 4 ears fresh corn, husked, cut into 3 inch pieces
- 14 ounces Andouille sausage, cut into 1 inch pieces
- 1 1/2 pounds shrimp, peeled and deveined (leave the tail on for a pretty look)
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 2 Tablespoon fresh parsley, minced
- 1 whole lemon, sliced for serving
Instructions
- Fill a large stockpot with 6 quarts of water. Add the squeezed lemon wedges, garlic cloves, quartered onion, and Old Bay Seasoning to the water. Stir to combine and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Add the potatoes and salt, and allow to cook for about 10-15 minutes until the potatoes are starting to be tender.
- Add the corn and sausage pieces. Cook covered for 5 minutes.
- Add the shrimp to the pot. Cover and cook until the shrimp start to turn opaque, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Using a slotted spoon to drain the water, transfer the shrimp, sausage, and vegetables to a large bowl. Save some of the cooking broth for the next step. Remove the boiled lemons and garlic cloves, and use fresh lemon for serving.
- Place 1/4 cup butter in a small bowl. Pour in 1 cup of the seasoned cooking broth in the bowl. Stir until the butter is melted.
- Pour the butter liquid over the bowl of shrimp, sausage, and vegetables. Gently toss to coat.
- Transfer the shrimp and vegetables to a platter, or traditionally on a dining table lined with plastic tablecloths or newspaper. Serve with fresh lemon wedges, chopped parsley, and hot sauce, if desired.
Notes
- You can find ears of corn already cut in the freezer section.
