Directions

Cover a big saucepan halfway with 4 quarts of water. Combine the old bay seasoning, quartered lemons, mashed garlic, potatoes, and onions in a mixing bowl. Bring to a boil after that.

Boil for about 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are just starting to soften. Combine the corn and sausage in a mixing bowl. Boil for another 4-5 minutes. Cook for about 2 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and translucent. Remove from the heat and set aside 1 cup of the broth. Strain the liquid and place the shrimp and veggies on a dish or on a piece of newspaper.

End up serving with remaining broth, melted butter, and minced parsley, if desired.
