Instructions
- 1Fill a large pot with salted water and bring to a boil over high heat. Add the baby potatoes and onion, cook 5 minutes until potatoes begin to soften.
- 2Add the frozen corn to the pot, stir well, and continue boiling for 5–7 minutes until the potatoes are just tender but still hold their shape. Drain well in a colander.
- 3Slice the andouille sausage into ½-inch rounds. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the sausage, and cook 3–4 minutes until lightly browned on both sides. Transfer to a plate.
- 4In the same skillet, add the shrimp and remaining olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook 2–3 minutes per side until the shrimp turn opaque and firm, then remove to a plate.
- 5In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, minced fresh garlic, and Old Bay seasoning until combined. Add the drained potatoes, corn, cooked sausage, and cooked shrimp to a large mixing bowl, pour the butter mixture over top, and gently toss until all ingredients are evenly coated.
- 6Divide the shrimp boil evenly into 6 airtight containers while hot. Top each portion with fresh parsley, sliced green onions, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving, or pack the lemon wedges and garnishes separately for assembly at mealtime.
