Ingredients

• 2 pounds Shrimp (large, peeled and deveined)
• 1 pound Smoked sausage (sliced into 1/2 inch pieces)
• 1 head Cauliflower (cut into florets)
• 2 large Zucchini (sliced into 1/2 inch rounds)
• 1 cup Butter
• 3 tablespoons Old Bay seasoning
• 1 Lemon (halved)
• 4 cups Water
• 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Pepper
• 0.25 cup Fresh parsley (chopped)

Directions

Step 1

In a large stockpot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add the Old Bay seasoning, salt, pepper, and the juice from half a lemon, then drop the lemon half into the pot.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and stir until the seasonings are combined and fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 4

Add the cauliflower florets to the boiling water and cook for 7-8 minutes, until they start to soften.

Step 5

Stir in the sliced sausage and cook for another 5 minutes.

Step 6

Add the zucchini slices and cook for an additional 3 minutes.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to medium and gently stir in the shrimp. Cook until the shrimp turn pink and opaque, about 4-5 minutes.

Step 8

Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave. Remove the lemon from the pot, allowing excess liquid to drip back in, and discard.

Step 9

Drain the pot carefully, reserving a little bit of the cooking liquid at the bottom to keep everything moist.

Step 10

Pour the melted butter over the shrimp and sausage mixture, stirring to coat well.

Step 11

Transfer the entire mixture to a large serving platter, garnish with the chopped parsley, and squeeze the juice from the remaining lemon half over the top.

Step 12

Serve hot, allowing guests to help themselves to the shrimp, sausage, and vegetables.
