How to Make It

1. Boil the Veggies & Sausage

In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the baby potatoes and cook for about 10 minutes, then toss in the corn and sausage slices. Cook until potatoes are fork-tender (about 5–7 more minutes). Drain and set aside.

2. Cook the Seafood

In the same pot or a large skillet, add a little water or seafood broth. Steam the crab legs, shrimp, mussels, and clams until they’re cooked through and the shells have opened (discard any unopened mussels or clams). Remove and set aside with the veggies.

3. Make the Creamy Sauce

In a large skillet or the empty pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute). Stir in Cajun seasoning, Old Bay, paprika, and chili flakes.

Slowly pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly. Let the sauce simmer until slightly thickened (about 3–5 minutes). Add the Parmesan (if using), season with salt and pepper, and squeeze in the lemon juice.

4. Combine Everything

Gently fold in all the cooked seafood, sausage, corn, and potatoes into the creamy sauce. Stir to coat everything evenly and heat through for another 2–3 minutes.

Serving Tips

• Serve hot in a large bowl or spread on a parchment-covered table for a fun, communal eating experience.
• Don’t forget a side of crusty bread or garlic butter rolls to mop up that heavenly sauce.
• Add a bowl of melted butter with lemon or extra hot sauce for dipping.
• Pair with a crisp white wine, a cold beer, or a sparkling lemonade for balance.

Secret Tip for Extra Flavor

Add a splash of white wine or seafood stock to the sauce for an extra depth of flavor. And if you’re feeling adventurous, throw in a handful of chopped bacon with the sausage for smoky richness. You’re welcome.
