Low Country Shrimp Boil Recipe is just about the easiest thing you can make this summer for a house full of guests. It's shrimp, sausage, corn, and potatoes that are full of flavor from my homemade old bay seasoning, boiled together in a stock pot. Plus it's fun to eat!
Fill a very large stock pot about 3/4 of the way with water. Add seasoning, bay leaves, lemons, and bring to a boil. Carefully add potatoes and cook about 5 minutes.
Carefully add sausage, onion, and corn. Cook an additional 5-10 minutes, or until potatoes are almost cooked through. Lower to a simmer.
Carefully add shrimp to pot. Cook 2-3 minutes, or until shrimp are cooked through. Drain water, saving about 2 cups in another container. Pour food onto parchment paper on the table.
Place fresh lemon wedges around table, with reserved broth to dip in. Sprinkle with fresh parsley (optional).
