Seafood

Preparation Steps
  1. In a large pot, combine enough water to cover your ingredients, then stir in Cajun seasoning and Old Bay. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat for 5-7 minutes.
  2. Carefully add halved potatoes to the pot and cook for about 10 minutes until slightly tender but still firm.
  3. Slice the andouille sausage and add it to the pot. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.
  4. Add fresh corn on the cob and whole hard-boiled eggs. Boil together for another 10 minutes.
