Equipment

Method
 

  1. In a large stock pot, combine the key lime juice, seasoning, butter, garlic and hot sauce.
  2. Fill the same pot with water until about halfway full.
  3. 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.
  4. Once the corn, potatoes and sausage are cooked, add in the shrimp. Cook shrimp for about 3 minutes or until they are pink.
  5. Once the shrimp are pink, drain the pot in a colander and spread out and serve on newspaper or butcher paper. Enjoy!
