Cajun Seafood Boil

Ingredients:

1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 lb crab legs
2 ears of corn, cut into halves
1 lb smoked sausage, cut into slices
2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning (optional)
1 lemon, quartered
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1 lime, sliced into wedges
Instructions:

Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning and salt to taste. Add the corn and cook for about 10 minutes, until tender.
Add the sausage to the pot and cook for 5 minutes.
Add the shrimp and crab legs, followed by the remaining Cajun seasoning, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and Old Bay seasoning if using. Stir to combine and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and the crab legs are heated through.
Drain the seafood and vegetables, reserving a little bit of the cooking liquid.
In a separate skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the cooked seafood and vegetables and toss to coat in the butter, adding some of the reserved liquid if necessary to keep everything moist.
Serve the seafood boil on a large tray, topped with fresh parsley, lime wedges, and lemon quarters for extra flavor. Enjoy!
