Ingredients

4 quarts water

1 large onion, cut into 6 wedges

1 whole garlic bulb, halved horizontally

1/2 cup seafood seasoning

6 medium red potatoes, quartered

4 medium ears sweet corn, cut into thirds

3/4 pound fully cooked andouille sausage links, cut into 1-inch pieces

2 pounds uncooked shell-on shrimp (26-30 per pound)

1/2 cup butter, melted

Lemon wedges

Instructions

1 Boil the potatoes

2 In a stockpot, combine the water, onion, garlic and seafood seasoning. Bring the water to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook, uncovered, for 10 minutes.

3 Add the corn and sausage, and return the water to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, until the potatoes are tender, 8 to 10 minutes.

4 Add the shrimp and cook until the shrimp turn pink, two to three minutes longer.

5 Finish with butter

6 Drain the stockpot, and transfer the contents to a large serving platter. Drizzle with butter. Serve with lemon wedges and, if desired, additional seafood seasoning.
