A shrimp boil is great for an outdoor party and couldn't be simpler: Just throw the onions, lemon, garlic, potatoes, sausage, artichoke, shrimp, and corn into a large stockpot and bring to a boil with some dry shrimp-and-crab boil seasoning. You can find the seasoning in the spice aisle near the old bay seasoning; we love the brand Slap Ya Mama Cajun Seafood Boil because it has good ingredients (read: no MSG).

After just about 20 minutes of cook time, your potatoes will be tender, and your shrimp will be cooked through. The results are spicy and well-seasoned. Drain and then dump the goods onto a big platter, or, for a festive occasion, cover your table in a washable tablecloth and serve straight from the surface.

Ingredients

2 small yellow onions, halved
½ cup dry shrimp-and-crab boil seasoning, such as Slap Ya Mama Cajun Seafood Boil
1 lemon, halved, plus wedges for serving
1 head garlic, halved crosswise
2 tablespoons kosher salt
8 ounces small red potatoes, halved
8 ounces andouille sausage, cut into 8 pieces
1 globe artichoke
1 ½ pounds large unpeeled shrimp
2 ears fresh corn, shucked and cut into thirds

Directions

Bring 4 quarts water, onions, seasoning, halved lemon, garlic, and salt to a boil in a large stockpot.
Add potatoes, sausage, and artichoke and boil until potatoes are just tender, 18 to 20 minutes.
Add shrimp and corn and cook until shrimp are opaque, about 3 minutes.
Drain and serve on a large platter with lemon wedges.
