Instructions

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.
Offer melted butter and Old Bay in ramekins for dipping.
