Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb (peeled and deveined) Shrimp
- 4 ears (cut into thirds) Corn on the cob
- 1.5 lb (halved) Red potatoes
- 12 oz (sliced into 1-inch pieces) Smoked sausage
- 3 tbsp Old Bay seasoning
- 4 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 1 whole (quartered) Lemon
- 4 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 2 pieces Bay leaves
- 8 cups Water
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp Chopped parsley
Instructions
In a large pot, bring 8 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Add the salt, Old Bay seasoning, minced garlic, bay leaves, and lemon quarters (squeezing the juice into the water before adding the rinds). Stir well to combine.
Once the water is boiling, add the halved red potatoes and cook for 10 minutes or until they begin to soften.
Add the corn pieces and smoked sausage slices to the pot, and cook for another 7-8 minutes until the corn is tender.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the shrimp. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.
Turn off the heat and carefully drain the liquid from the pot, leaving the cooked ingredients in the pot.
Add the unsalted butter to the pot and stir gently to coat all the ingredients.
Season with additional ground black pepper, if desired, and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for garnish.
Transfer the mixture to a large serving dish or serve directly from the pot. Enjoy!
