In a large stockpot, add the water, pineapple juice, oranges, lemon halves, garlic, bay leaves, onion, and Cajun and old bay seafood seasoning. Bring the mixture to a boil.

Add the red potatoes and corn cobs to the boiling water. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Add eggs if you like them.

Add the sausage to the pot and let it cook for another 5-7 minutes.

Carefully add the seafood to the pot. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the seafood is cooked through. Be careful not to overcook, as seafood cooks quickly.

Once everything is cooked, drain the contents of the pot, discarding the lemon halves, bay leaves, and onion.

Serve the seafood boil on a large platter or spread it out on a table covered with newspaper. Drizzle with melted butter and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley.

Serve with additional Old Bay seasoning, hot sauce, and lemon wedges on the side for extra flavor.
