Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Boil

    In a large pot, bring 4 quarts of water to a boil. Add the salt, Cajun seasoning, Old Bay seasoning, minced garlic, and the juice from the halved lemon.

  2. 2

    Cook the Potatoes

    Once the water reaches a rolling boil, add the halved new potatoes. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes are just tender.

  3. 3

    Add Sausage and Corn

    Add the sliced Andouille sausage and corn on the cob pieces to the pot. Continue to boil for another 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Crab and Shrimp

    Carefully add the crab legs and shrimp to the pot. Boil for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque.

  5. 5

    Drain and Serve

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the seafood, sausage, potatoes, and corn from the pot and place them on a large serving platter. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top and serve immediately.
