Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds small red potatoes
• 2 tablespoons kosher salt
• 0.25 cup Old Bay seasoning
• 4 cloves garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
• 2 whole lemons, halved
• 2 whole yellow onions, peeled and quartered
• 1 pound smoked sausage, sliced into 1-inch pieces
• 4 ears fresh corn, husked and cut into thirds
• 1.5 pounds large shell-on shrimp (deveined, if desired)
• 8 cups water
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, for serving
• 1 bottle hot sauce, for serving

Directions

Step 1

In a large stockpot, combine water, kosher salt, Old Bay seasoning, smashed garlic cloves, lemon halves, and quartered onions. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Once boiling, add the small red potatoes. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15 minutes.

Step 3

Add the smoked sausage and corn pieces to the pot. Continue cooking for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the corn is tender.

Step 4

Gently stir in the shrimp. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and are fully opaque. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp.

Step 5

Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked potatoes, corn, sausage, and shrimp to a large serving platter or spread them out on newspaper-lined tables for a traditional presentation.

Step 6

Optional: Strain the cooking liquid and pour a small amount over the seafood mixture for added flavor.

Step 7

Serve hot with melted butter and hot sauce on the side. Enjoy!
