we love this recipe. it’s an old favorite, but better known here as “Old Bay Shrimp Boil”. It’s always a hit and we serve with butter, rolls, and beans.

Description
Also known as Frogmore Stew by us South Carolinians, this dish is perfect for a big party, but can be prepared for as many as you wish.
Ingredients
- 4 quarts Water
- 1 bottle (12 Fl. Oz. Bottle) Beer
- ¼ cups Old Bay Seasoning
- 1 whole Onion, Peeled And Halved
- 1 whole Lemon, Halved
- 2 whole Bay Leaves
- 4 whole Large Russet Or Red Potatoes, Quartered (or 16 Whole, Small Potatoes)
- 1 whole Polska Kielbasa (may Substitue Turkey Polska Kielbasa For A Lower Fat Version), Cut Into One Inch Pieces
- 4 ears Fresh Or Frozen Corn On The Cob, Shucked And Halved
- 2 pounds Raw Shrimp With Peel And Tail On
Preparation
In a large stockpot, bring the water, beer, Old Bay Seasoning, onion, lemon, and bay leaves to a boil. Add potatoes and cook for 10 minutes. Add the Kielbasa and corn and cook for an additional 10 minutes. Add the shrimp and cook until the shrimp turn pink and start to float to the top (approximately two minutes).
Remove from heat, drain, and pour out onto a large platter, or, for a large crowd (double, triple, etc. the recipe), pour out onto a newspaper-covered table and dig in! Serve with drawn butter and cocktail sauce. This recipe serves 6-8.

I was introduced to this about 15 years ago. Some friends of ours from the South invited us to a low country “bull”. I could not for the life of me understand what she was saying. So we went anyone and found out it was a low country boil. I just couldn’t understand her southern accent over the phone. : ) We loved it!
Last year, we started making this (a little bit different version, almost the same) at our church campout for Sunday dinner. This year we made it for 70 people. We make it outdoors in big propane cookers. Everyone loves it!

My husband is from Charleston. We now live in New Mexico, and make this for our friends and family all the time. We made a huge pot for our son’s 1st birthday party. It was a huge hit! We usually use turkey kielbalsa.
