Ingredients

3 quarts water
1 lemon, halved
1 medium onion, halved
2 cloves garlic, smashed
coarse salt to taste
1 (3 ounce) package dry crab boil
1 ½ pounds medium red potatoes, scrubbed
1 pound smoked sausage, cut into 1 inch pieces
4 ears fresh corn, shucked and broken in half
1 ½ pounds unpeeled, large fresh shrimp
½ cup butter, melted

Steps:

Bring the water to a boil in a very large pot. Squeeze the lemon juice into the water, then throw in the halves. Add the onion, garlic, salt and crab boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for about 10 minutes.
Add the potatoes and sausage; cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Add the corn and cook for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the shrimp.
