Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds small red potatoes
- 2 tablespoons kosher salt
- 0.25 cup Old Bay seasoning
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
- 2 whole lemons, halved
- 2 whole yellow onions, peeled and quartered
- 1 pound smoked sausage, sliced into 1-inch pieces
- 4 ears fresh corn, husked and cut into thirds
- 1.5 pounds large shell-on shrimp (deveined, if desired)
- 8 cups water
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, for serving
- 1 bottle hot sauce, for serving
Instructions
In a large stockpot, combine water, kosher salt, Old Bay seasoning, smashed garlic cloves, lemon halves, and quartered onions. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, add the small red potatoes. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15 minutes.
Add the smoked sausage and corn pieces to the pot. Continue cooking for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the corn is tender.
Gently stir in the shrimp. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and are fully opaque. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked potatoes, corn, sausage, and shrimp to a large serving platter or spread them out on newspaper-lined tables for a traditional presentation.
Optional: Strain the cooking liquid and pour a small amount over the seafood mixture for added flavor.
Serve hot with melted butter and hot sauce on the side. Enjoy!
