Frogmore Stew

Before you start, you will need a very, very large pot and a propane burner. Having this makes it much easier, but I have cooked frogmore stew in 2 separate pots on my stove.

Fill the pot up with water just under halfway full. Place the pot on the burner.

Pour in all of the seasoning (use generous amounts). Some people at this point would pour in a couple beers. You can do that too, if you want.

Let all that get to a good boil.

Add the potatoes first. Cook for about 10 minutes. Once the potatoes are semi-soft, throw in the sausage and again let it cook for about 5 minutes.

Once it starts boiling again, add the corn. Now let it boil for a few minutes.

Add the crab legs. For most crab legs you get, all you need to do is boil them for about 5-7 minutes and then they are ready. Let boil for a few minutes.

Add all the shrimp to the pot while it is boiling and then let them pink up just a little and cut the flame off. Put the lid on; the shrimp will keep cooking. Let that cook for about 2-3 minutes more.

Once you have everything cooked, lay down some newspaper and just dump the contents of the pot (after draining) onto the table and enjoy.

You can add onions to this as well, but I don’t ever add the onions. If you do, add them at the very beginning. You can also add crawdads.
