Go to three different grocery stores to find affordable seafood.

Gather all ingredients: over a pound of shrimp, two lobster tails, five whole red potatoes, a pound of butter, six sausages, and four corn on the cob.

Fill a large pot with water and add salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder, Old Bay seasoning, all-purpose seasoning, and black pepper.

Bring the water to a boil.

Add the red potatoes to the boiling water and cook for about 20 minutes.

After 15 minutes, add the corn, sausages, lobster tails, and shrimp to the pot.

Cook the corn, sausages, lobster, and shrimp for about 5 to 7 minutes, taking out the shrimp and lobster first to avoid overcooking.

Prepare the garlic butter sauce by melting a pound of butter in a pot.

Add a full head of minced garlic to the butter and let it marinate briefly.

Stir in smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, Old Bay seasoning, and brown sugar into the butter and garlic mixture, and let it simmer for 2 to 3 minutes.

Plate the seafood and pour the spicy garlic butter sauce over it, mixing to coat everything lightly.

Garnish with parsley for presentation.
