For the home chef, owner John Sparrow passes down one of his simply prepared fare featured  at the Oyster Bar, enjoyed, of course, with a complement of Mother Shucker’s Original Cocktail Sauce.

 

Ingredients

½ Lb Red potatoes (cut into approx. 1” pieces)

½ Ear of corn (thawed if previously frozen)

¼ Lb Smoked sausage (¼” to ½” slices)

¼ Lb Raw shrimp

4 Whole crawfish

 

 Seasoning – season all ingredients prior to cooking

1 Tbsp Old Bay Seasoning

1 Tbsp Roasted garlic pepper

1 Tbsp Cajun seasoning powder

 

Directions

Place all ingredients into a steamer basket.  Steam for 5-10 minutes until the center of the corn is hot to the touch, and the shrimp is firm and white.  Garnish with lemon and parsley.  Enjoy with a side dish of gently warmed Mother Shucker’s Cocktail Sauce!

Serves 1 or 2

Enjoy!
