Instructions
Bring a large pot of water over medium-high heat to boil and add in 1 tbsp of old bay seasoning to the water.
Cut the corn cobs into thirds, and the onion into quarters. Once boiling, toss in the corn cobs and cook for about 15 minutes then add in the potatoes and onion for another 10 minutes. Get a large sheet pan (half sheet size) and line it with aluminum foil sprayed with noncooking spray. Once the potatoes and corn are cooked add them to the sheet pan. You can go ahead and preheat the oven to 400F now.
Cut the sausages diagonally (AKA 'Coin Slicing') for larger pieces and add them to the sheet pan with the corn, potatoes and shrimp spreading them evenly around.
In a small bowl melt the butter and add the 2 tbsp of old bay seasoning and mix. Pour over everything on the sheet pan and mix around to fully coat it all.
If making crab legs, brush the legs with some melted butter and lightly dust them with a little bit of old bay seasoning (about 1 or 1-1/2 tsp is good for 3-4 clusters). If already thawed they only need to cook for about 10-12 minutes or until hot throughout. Don't have time to thaw your legs? It's okay, just cook them frozen for about 20-25 minutes until they are hot.
Place in the preheated oven set to 400F for about 13-15 minutes or until the shrimp and opaque and fully cooked. Squeeze lemon juice over it all and top with chopped parsley.
