Ingredients

Water

4 quarts

Old Bay Seasoning

1/2 cup

Salt

1 tablespoon

Potatoes

2 pounds, halved

Sausage

1 pound, smoked and sliced

Onions

2 large, quartered

Garlic

6 cloves, smashed

Corn on the cob

4 ears, cut into halves

Shrimp

1 pound, peeled and deveined

Crab legs

1 pound, cleaned

Lobster tails

2, halved lengthwise

Butter

1 cup, melted

Lemons

2, juiced and cut into wedges

Instructions

1. In a large pot, bring the water to a rolling boil. Stir in the Old Bay Seasoning and salt.
2. Add the halved potatoes, sliced sausage, quartered onions, and smashed garlic. Cook for 10 minutes until the potatoes start to soften.
3. Introduce the corn halves to the pot and cook for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the corn to absorb the flavors.
4. Carefully add the shrimp, crab legs, and halved lobster tails to the pot. Cook until the shrimp turn pink and opaque, and the lobster is cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
5. Once cooked, drain the water from the pot. Be cautious, as the contents will be hot!
6. Squeeze the juice of the lemons over the seafood and drizzle with the melted butter, tossing gently to combine all the flavors.
7. Serve the seafood boil hot on a newspaper-lined table or a large platter, garnished with lemon wedges and extra melted butter on the side.
