Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 cups water
- 1 quarter cup Old Bay seasoning
- 1.5 pounds red potatoes
- 1 pound hot smoked sausage links (sliced into 1-inch pieces)
- 4 ears fresh corn (shucked and cut into halves)
- 1.5 pounds large raw shrimp (peeled and deveined, tails left on)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 whole lemon (cut into wedges)
- optional hot sauce (for serving)
Instructions
In a large stockpot, bring 12 cups of water and 1/4 cup of Old Bay seasoning to a rolling boil over high heat.
Reduce the heat to medium-high and add the red potatoes. Cook for 10-12 minutes until they are just beginning to soften.
Add the sliced hot smoked sausage and corn halves to the pot. Cook for an additional 8-10 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 are cooked through. Be careful not to overcook.
Turn off the heat and drain the pot, reserving a small amount of the cooking liquid for added moisture, if desired.
Transfer the cooked shrimp, sausage, potatoes, and corn to a large serving platter or spread them out on a newspaper-covered table for a family-style presentation.
Melt the unsalted butter and drizzle it over the seafood and vegetables. Squeeze fresh lemon juice on top for brightness.
Serve immediately with additional Old Bay seasoning, lemon wedges, and hot sauce on the side.
