Place the corn and red potatoes into the seasoned water. Boil for 10 minutes.
Add the crab legs and sausage . Cover with a lid and boil for an additional 15 minutes.
Add the shrimp. Boil for 5 minutes (shrimp will turn pink, do not overcook).
Drain the water and remove bay leaves. Transfer to serving dish or leave in the stock pot.
Pour that delicious garlic butter sauce all over, and/or reserve some sauce on the side to dip the seafood in (recipe below).

GARLIC BUTTER SAUCE
Melt one stick of butter and olive oil in a skillet on medium heat. Add onions and sauté until they become translucent.
Add Garlic and saute for 30 seconds, stirring constantly so garlic doesn’t burn. Add juice of the lemon, and all the seasonings. Adjust cayenne and red pepper to your level of spiciness.
Add remaining 3 sticks of butter. Simmer until butter is melted, stir constantly.
If using chicken broth, gently stir it into the mixture now. Pour over your favorite seafood and/or reserve some for dipping.
Enjoy!
