Instructions
Rinse all seafood under cold water. Peel and devein shrimp if not already done. Cut potatoes, corn, onions, and garlic.
In a large pot, bring 4 to 5 quarts of water to a boil. Add the quartered potatoes and cook for about 15 minutes until slightly tender. Then, add corn and continue cooking for another 5 minutes.
Once the vegetables are tender, stir in Cajun seasoning, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Gently add shrimp, crab legs, and mussels or clams into the pot. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until shrimp turns pink.
Carefully drain the seafood boil into a large colander.
On a large table-covered surface, pour the seafood and vegetables out. Drizzle melted butter on top and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve with lemon wedges.
