Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs Small red potatoes

- 3 tbsp Old Bay seasoning
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced

Instructions
In a large stockpot, bring 6 quarts of water to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon of salt and 3 tablespoons of Old Bay seasoning to the water.
Once the water is boiling, add the potatoes and cook for 10 minutes or until they start to soften.
Add the corn halves to the pot and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Add the smoked sausage pieces to the pot and cook for 3 minutes.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the shrimp to the pot. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and are fully cooked.
Turn off the heat and carefully drain the pot using a colander. Transfer the boiled ingredients to a large serving platter or a clean newspaper-lined surface for a casual presentation.
Drizzle the melted butter over the shrimp boil, and sprinkle the minced garlic and chopped parsley evenly on top.
Serve with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the dish, and extra Old Bay seasoning if desired.
