    Step by stepInstructions

    1. Combine the water, seafood seasoning, lemon, and garlic in a large pot. Bring to a boil.
    2. Add the potatoes and cook 15 minutes, then add the corn and sausage and cook 5 minutes more.
    3. Add the shrimp and cook 3-4 minutes until pink and curled.
    4. Drain everything and pour it out onto a newspaper-lined table.
    5. Serve with melted butter and hot sauce.

    💡 Chef tips & storage

    Cook the potatoes and corn first, then add the sausage and shrimp at the end so the shrimp stay tender. Spread everything on newspaper and serve with melted butter and plenty of napkins.
