Step 1
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it foams, about 1 minute.
Step 2
Add potatoes and corn. Sprinkle with cajun seasoning, toss to coat, and cook uncovered for 8 minutes.
Step 3
Add sausage and stir occasionally until the edges begin to caramelize, about 3 minutes.
Step 4
Push vegetables and sausage to the sides. Add shrimp and crawfish to the center, toss gently with the butter and seasonings.
Step 5
Cook without stirring for 2 minutes until shrimp begins to pink, then toss and cook 1 minute more until opaque throughout.
Step 6
Squeeze lemon juice over the platter. Transfer everything to a serving bowl or divide between plates and serve immediately.
