In a large stockpot, combine the vegetable broth, water, and Old Bay seasoning. Squeeze the juice from the halved lemons into the pot, then add the squeezed lemon halves.
Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over high heat.
Reduce the heat slightly and add the baby red potatoes. Cook for about 10 minutes.
Add the corn segments, carrots, pearl onions, and smashed garlic cloves to the pot. Cook for an additional 10 minutes until the potatoes and other vegetables are tender.
Add the plant-based seafood, artichoke hearts, and button mushrooms to the pot. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until heated through and the flavors have melded.
Remove the pot from the heat and let it sit for a couple of minutes to cool slightly.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the vegetables and plant-based seafood to a large platter or serving bowl.
Drizzle melted vegan butter over the top and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your vegetarian take on a classic seafood boil!
