This easy seafood boil recipe feeds a big family in just 30 minutes! Made with the classics — shrimp, Cajun sausage, corn on the cob, and potatoes with lemons and Zatarain's southern seasoning. Served hot with Old Bay and melted butter. YUM!
Add water and Zatarain's Crawfish, Shrimp & Crab Boil seasoning to a large stockpot. Bring to boil on high heat. Stir in potatoes, onions and garlic. Cover and boil 15 minutes or until potatoes are soft all the way through.*
Add sausage, lemons, corn and raw shrimp to the pot. Cover and boil an additional 3-5 minutes or just until shrimp is pink in color all the way through.
Strain to remove water then serve immediately. To serve, dump everything once strained onto a table lined with newspaper.
Drizzle with melted butter and sprinkle with Old Bay seasoning. Reserve some melted butter as a dip for shrimp (and other seafood if available). Offer additional Old Bay for dipping as well.

Notes
*Using smaller red potatoes is ideal as this will shorten cook time. Or, cut larger potatoes into bite-sized pieces to reduce cook time.
