I love this recipe because it's delicious, easy, my entire family gobbles it up, it's decently healthy, and can be gluten-free!

*Preparing this dish for a meal ministry? Just place everything in a pot and take it over to your loved one's home and put it covered on the stove. This is such an easy meal to make and take! Very little prep and clean-up.

Fill stock pot 3/4 of the way with water {about 10 cups for me} , add 1/4 cup of Old Bay seasoning, turn on high heat and bring to a rapid boil.

Yes, Old Bay is Gluten-Free!

4 bi-color corn on the cobs, 1 1/2 lbs baby red potatoes, 1 package Hillshire Farms smoked sausage, and 1 1/2 pounds raw shrimp.

Rinse potatoes and add them whole to the boiling water first...boil for 15 mins.

If your shrimp is frozen- no worries. Just place in a colander and rinse with luke warm water for a couple mins. Shrimp thaws and cooks quickly!

Slice sausage into coin sized slices. Rinse and break corn into halves.

After potatoes boil for 15 mins, throw everything else in the pot and let it boil for another 6-7 mins.

When it's all done, ladle it out into a large lasagna pan. I put a little butter on the corn and sprinkled it with some sea salt.

Mmmmm!!!! This really is such a delicious meal and SO so so so so so easy. If you can boil water, you can make it. My children are huge shrimp fans- they even like "peel and eat" {pictured above}...I cut open their potatoes and put a little ketchup on top- their plates were empty in 5 mins flat.
