• A large (at least 12-quart) stockpot, preferably with a perforated insert, or 2 large (at least 6-quart) pots

Fill stockpot with 6 qt. water (if using 2 pots, divide ingredients and water between them). Add lemons, bay leaves, salt, peppercorns, and 120ml seasoning, cover, and bring to a rolling boil. Add potatoes, return to a boil, and cook 7 minutes. Add sausage and onions, return to a boil, and cook 5 minutes. Add corn, return to a boil, and cook until corn is cooked and potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife, about 5 minutes more.

Add prawns and cook (no need to return to a boil), stirring gently, until prawns turn pink, about 3 minutes. Remove insert or drain through a very large colander.

Stir ketchup, horseradish, Worcestershire, lemon juice, and hot sauce, if using, in a medium bowl.

Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Transfer to a medium bowl and stir in lemon juice and hot sauce, if using. Taste and add more lemon juice, if needed. Cover and let sit in a warm place.

Serve prawns boil on a newspaper-lined table or large platters. Dust with additional Old Bay, if using. Serve with sauces alongside, if desired.

Cocktail sauce can be made 1 week ahead. Transfer to an airtight container and chill.
