Summer Boil

This is the perfect summer meal! My family and I really enjoy this on a night when it feels like summer. Maybe the kids were in the pool all day and we can eat outside and make a mess and not care. Summer nights with no school in sight and a big pot of shrimp and sausage is just what we need. This is a true one pot meal that is spicy and delicious!

8 cloves of garlic smashed
1 large red onion, quartered

1 pound of baby red potatoes
8 ears of corn, snapped in half

Ladle out about 1 cup of broth from the pot and put in the bowl with the butter.
With a slotted spoon transfer the shrimp, kielbasa and vegetables to the bowl.
