Low Country Boil - Simple & Delicious Recipe - Shrimp, Potatoes, Corn, Sausage, and More

For Father’s Day, my father, @iconchout, wanted a Low Country Boil. We have it every few months for a special occasion. They are fairly inexpensive to make and can feed a large crowd. They are great for family dinners, sports events, and any other gathering. A Low Country Boil is a combination of a potatoes, sausage, corn, shrimp, and more and is often served on a huge table where everyone can just eat as much as they want.

This recipe serves 20 people perfectly

Ingredients

6 pounds of shrimp (unpeeled)
8 pounds of sausage (polska kielbasa or turkey kielbasa)
9 pounds of small red potatoes
10 ears of corn
3 heads of garlic
1 white onion
2 lemons
1 carton of old bay seasoning
4 Yuenglings (optional – beer of choice)
8 quarts of water
2 pounds of crawfish (optional)

I love adding Yuengling to the water mixture. It adds some extra flavor.

Old Bay is a great seasoning for seafood and poultry and is a combination of bay leaves, paprika, dry mustard and other seasonings.

I usually use polska kielsbasa, but the turkey kielbasa was on sale and had 65% less fat than the polska.

I love to shuck the corn and it was 5 ears for $2.

I had not used crawfish in a Low Country Boil before, but it definitely will be a staple from now on.

I got both medium and large shrimp. The large shrimp were a little pricey – use medium shrimp from now on! :D

The garlic is a secret ingredient in the Low Country Boil.

Lemons. Get your lemons. Any chance I have to juggle I take full advantage of.

The onions add some serious flavor and are delicious by themselves with all of the seasonings.

The red potatoes are my favorite part of the boil.

Now time to get into the kitchen!
