OH my Gosh! This was fantastic! I had 1/2 the shrimp, and 12oz sausage, but full seasoning and I winged it with everything else. Even my husdand (scrooge) loved it! My step-son asked for the reciepe and I'm happy to give it! I added 1 lemon (cut in half) to the water, but didn't do the garlic mayo - just the cocktail sauce. The potatoes were flavorful with out anything more than came out of the pot - but add butter?! Wow! Anyway - fantastic!
