Ultimate Seafood Boil

Ultimate Seafood Boil is made in just one pot for easy clean up and it’s ready in just 30 minutes. So get out one large sauce pan, grab the Old Bay Seasoning, and crack open a beer and you’re good to go!

It’s great in the summer or fall, with fresh corn on the cob. If you can’t find fresh cob corn you can buy frozen ears of corn in the freezer section of the grocery store so you can make this delicious Cajun shrimp boil for two any time of year.

How to make Ultimate Seafood Boil:

If using, cut the lemon into quarters. I don’t prefer the lemon in this recipe but I know a lot of people love it so I’m keeping it as optional.

Peel the onion, cut into quarters and cut the red potatoes in half.

Cut the corn into 4 pieces and cut the smoked sausage into 1 inch pieces.

Fill a large sauce pan with the water, beer, lemon wedges (if using), Old Bay seasoning, garlic and onions. Bring to a boil.

Add the potatoes and cook for 10 minutes or until just tender.

Add the corn and smoked sausage and cook for another 3 minutes.

Add the shrimp to the pot and cook for 2 minutes or until pink and opaque.

Reserve ¼ cup of the broth and drain the shrimp mixture from the pot.

Remove the lemon wedges and discard.

Melt the butter and whisk it into the reserved broth.

Transfer the drained shrimp and veggies to serving bowls and pour the broth over the shrimp mixture, divided evenly.

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and sprinkle with additional Old Bay seasoning to taste, and serve.
