Instructions
- In a large stock pot, combine the key lime juice, seasoning, butter, garlic and hot sauce.
- Fill the same pot with water until about halfway full.
- Add in potatoes and put the pot on high heat and bring to a boil. Boil potatoes for about 10-15 minutes (or until almost completely tender). Then add in the sausage and corn for another 5-10 minutes. Stir frequently.
