March 11, 2026

Made popular in the south, this one-pot summer meal is full of juicy shrimp, smoky sausage, sweet corn and tender potatoes cooked in a perfectly seasoned broth. Not only is this shrimp boil a simple meal to put together as everything cooks in one pot, its packed full of flavor thanks to our star seasoning ingredient, OLD BAY® Classic Seafood Seasoning! You can serve this shrimp boil the traditional way by spreading it onto a covered table or keep things mess free by pouring onto a large serving platter. Serve your OLD BAY® shrimp boil sprinkled with freshly chopped parsley and a squeeze of lemon, a side of garlic butter and garlic bread to soak up any extra broth.
