EASY TO REMEMBER LOW COUNTRY BOIL



Easy to Remember Low Country Boil image

People make Low Country Boils seem like so much trouble. This is the Low Country Boil we use for parties and just general get togethers. We usually use a 60 quart pot with a strainer to serve about 20 people. More people can be served by the same pot. Just use two strainers to make it easy. We use a "fish fryer" gas burner to heat the water. We haven't had a complaint yet. In the tradition on the South, you should have left overs to send with guests.

Time 1h

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

7 gallons water
2 cups Old Bay Seasoning (adjust to taste)
1 1/2 cups salt
1 lb shrimp, per person
1 small red potatoes, tennis sized washed per person
round onion, tennis sized peeled per person
1/2 lb spicy sausage, cheap tube sausage per person
1 ear of corn, per person

Steps:

  • Place your pot and strainer on the burner and fire it off. Add the salt and Old Bay.
  • Let the water come to a hard boil.
  • Add potatoes and onions. Wait 10 minutes.
  • Add sausage. Wait 10 minutes.
  • Add corn. Wait 10 minutes.
  • Add shrimp. Wait 2 minutes then turn off the heat. Wait 2 more minutes.
  • Immediately remove the strainer from the pot! If you don't, the shrimp will be tough. (Not good at all).
  • If you need more room in the pot for having more guests cook all everything except the shrimp. Take that strainer out and put your spare strainer in and then cook the shrimp just like the above recipe.

Tips for a Perfect Low Country Boil:

  • Use fresh seafood. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your boil.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot. If you do, the seafood won't cook evenly.
  • Season the water well. The boil should be flavorful, so don't be afraid to add plenty of salt, pepper, and Old Bay seasoning.
  • Bring the water to a boil before adding the seafood. This will help to prevent the seafood from overcooking.
  • Cook the seafood just until it's cooked through. Overcooked seafood is tough and chewy.
  • Serve the boil with plenty of sides, such as corn on the cob, potatoes, and sausage.

Conclusion:

The Low Country boil is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a party or a casual meal. With fresh seafood, flavorful broth, and plenty of sides, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a fun and festive meal, give the Low Country boil a try.
