Ingredients
Scale
2 lbs of shrimp (peeled and deveined; substitute with crab or lobster for luxury)
1 lb of blue crabs (or replace with snow crab legs)
2 lbs of Yukon gold potatoes (for their buttery flavor; red potatoes work too)
4 ears of corn (cut into thirds; consider frozen corn if fresh isn’t available)
1/2 lb of smoked sausage (like Andouille; for a spicy kick)
1/4 cup of Old Bay seasoning (or a homemade spice blend)
1 lemon (halved; the zest adds brightness)
1/4 cup of butter (both for richness and to drizzle)
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley (for garnish; consider dill or cilantro for variation)
Instructions
Start by thoroughly rinsing your seafood and vegetables under cold water. Remove any shells from the shrimp and cut the potatoes into quarters for quicker cooking.
Fill a large pot with water, add the Yukon gold potatoes, and bring it to a rolling boil. After about 10 minutes, add the corn and sliced sausage.
After adding corn and sausage for 10 minutes, gently add the shrimp and crabs along with the Old Bay seasoning.
Let the mixture boil for another 5-7 minutes until the shrimp turn pink and the crabs are heated through.
Once cooked, strain the seafood and vegetables and lay them out on a large table covered with butcher paper. Drizzle melted butter over the top and sprinkle with parsley.
