Microwave on low heat in 30-second increments until the butter is melted, about 1 to 2 minutes total, being careful not to overheat the butter.

Stir in lemon juice and fresh parsley, then set aside.

Add baby red potatoes to the boiling water and cover, cooking for 5 minutes.

Add peeled sweet onions and kielbasa sausage, cover, and cook for another 10 minutes.

Add corn and, if using, lobster tails or crab, and boil for 5 minutes.

Add shrimp or crawfish and cook until the shrimp is pink and cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes.

Drain and discard the liquid and bay leaves.

Serve on a platter or a table lined with newspaper or brown paper with lemon garlic butter.
