Add 4 ears of corn to the pot, nestling them down into the liquid.

Add 8 ounces of cut-up kielbasa sausage on top of the corn.

Cover the pot and boil for 3-4 minutes.

After 4 minutes, turn off the heat and add 1 pound of shrimp to the pot, covering it with the lid.

Let the shrimp cook in the residual heat for about 2 minutes until they are pink and opaque.

Drain the contents of the pot, leaving a little bit of juice behind.

In a separate small bowl, melt 2 tablespoons of butter with 1 tablespoon of garlic.

Add about 1/4 cup of the reserved cooking juice to the butter and garlic mixture and stir until combined.

Pour the garlic butter sauce over the shrimp boil.

Sprinkle fresh parsley on top for garnish before serving.
