LOW COUNTRY BOIL



Low Country Boil image

When Kardea Brown was growing up on Wadmalaw Island outside Charleston, SC, she'd often gather with family beneath the Spanish moss-covered tree in her great-grandfather's yard, and they would spill endless buckets of boiled crab, shrimp, sausage, corn and potatoes onto a newspaper-lined table. Like crawfish boils in Louisiana and clambakes in New England, Low Country boils are a regional summer staple - they're super fun. These days Kardea carries on the tradition with her girlfriends, hosting a boil right on the beach whenever they visit. It's the best kind of communal eating, she says. "Instead of breaking bread, we're breaking crab."
