Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds shrimp, deveined and shell-on
- 1.5 pounds baby red potatoes
- 4 ears fresh corn on the cob, halved
- 12 oz smoked sausage, low sodium, sliced into 1-inch pieces
- 2 units lemon, quartered
- 1 unit yellow onion, quartered
- 8 units garlic cloves, smashed
- 4 cups low sodium chicken broth
- 8 cups water
- 2 tablespoons Old Bay seasoning, sodium-free
- 2 units bay leaves
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
In a large stockpot, combine the low sodium chicken broth and water. Add the smashed garlic cloves, onion, bay leaves, and sodium-free Old Bay seasoning.
Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, add the potatoes. Reduce the heat to medium-high and cook for about 10 minutes.
Add the sausage slices and corn to the pot. Continue boiling for another 5 minutes.
Add the shrimp to the pot, stirring gently. Squeeze the juice of the lemon quarters into the pot, then add the lemon quarters themselves.
Allow everything to cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the shrimp are opaque and the potatoes are tender.
Remove the stockpot from heat and drain the liquid. Discard the bay leaves.
Transfer the shrimp, sausage, corn, and potatoes to a large serving platter or spread it out on newspaper for a more traditional approach.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy immediately!
