Instructions
Fill a large stockpot with 8 cups of water. Add Old Bay seasoning, smashed garlic cloves, sliced lemon, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over high heat.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the baby red potatoes. Cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Add the corn on the cob pieces and smoked sausage slices to the pot. Cook for 5 minutes.
Increase the heat to high and add the shell-on shrimp to the pot. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through. Be careful not to overcook.
Using a slotted spoon, carefully transfer the shrimp, potatoes, corn, and sausage to a large serving platter or bowl.
Drizzle the melted butter over the seafood and vegetables, and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for garnish.
Serve immediately with extra butter on the side for dipping and plenty of napkins for easy peeling and eating. Enjoy!
