Low Country Boil Recipe

🧂 Ingredients

• 8 quarts of water

  or beer or stock - I use a combination of light lager, chicken stock and fish stock
• 1/2 cup Old Bay Seasoning

  or more to taste - I usually double it
• Hot Sauce

  to taste
• 1 pound red potatoes

  whole or quartered
• 2-3 sweet onions

  quartered (vidalia onions are great here)
• 1 pound smoked sausage

  cut into half inch pieces - use andouille, kielbasa, or your favorite
• 4 ears corn

  cut into thirds
• 2 pounds shrimp

  peeled or unpeeled - use head-on for bigger flavor!
• 2 pounds stone crab claws

  optional, or use more shrimp - blue crab is more commonly used
• For Garnish: Red pepper flakes, fresh chopped parsley, lemon slices or wedges

Instructions

• 1 Fill a very large pot with your water/beer/stock combination and add Old Bay
  Seasoning and hot sauce to taste. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
• 2 Add the potatoes and cook for 5 minutes to slightly soften.
• 3 Add the onions and smoked sausage. Bring to a boil and cook for 10 minutes.
• 4 Add the corn. Return to a boil and cook for 10 minutes, or until the corn
  becomes golden.
• 5 When the potatoes and corn are done to your liking, add the shrimp and crab
  claws (if using). Cook for 3 minutes, or until the shrimp turns pink and cooks
  through. Remove from heat.
• 6 Strain out the liquid and discard it. Serve on a large platter with red chili
  flakes, fresh chopped parsley and lemon slices for garnish.
