For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the dressing. Feel free to adjust the amount of seafood boil seasoning to your preference. If you don't have new potatoes, Yukon Gold or red potatoes work well as substitutes. Garnish with fresh parsley or dill for a pop of color and freshness.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, yellow mustard, white vinegar, pickle relish, 2 tablespoons seafood boil seasoning, smoked paprika, minced garlic, sliced celery, and sliced green onions until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate the dressing for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. (Prep time: 15 minutes)
02
StepIn a large pot, combine 2 quarts of water, the halved lemons, and ½ cup seafood boil seasoning. Bring to a boil over medium heat. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
03
StepAdd the quartered new potatoes to the boiling broth and cook for 10 minutes. Then, add the eggs and shrimp to the pot. Turn off the heat, cover the pot, and let it sit for another 10 minutes. This gentle cooking method ensures perfectly cooked shrimp and prevents overcooked eggs. (Cook time: 20 minutes)
04
StepUsing a slotted spoon, carefully remove the shrimp, potatoes, and eggs from the pot and transfer them to a baking sheet to cool. Once the eggs are cool enough to handle, peel them. (Cooling and peeling: 15 minutes)
05
StepIn a large bowl, gently combine the cooked potatoes with the chilled dressing. Break the peeled eggs into the potato mixture and stir until evenly distributed. Finally, fold in the cooked shrimp. (Assembly: 10 minutes)
06
StepCover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to fully develop. Serve chilled and enjoy! (Chill time: 2+ hours)
