The other night mom made us Low Country Boil. Yummy! It's a big thing in the South and people who have never heard of it usually say, "what the heck is a low country boil?" Well, here is the scoop! You can cook this two different ways: 1.) either on the stove in a big pot or 2.) in a big pot outside on a burner fueled by propane gas. Mom cooked our meal on the stove.
Ingredients:
Old Bay Seasoning
corn on the cob (half ears of corn)
Kielbasa sausage (cut 3-4 inches long)
new potatoes
large shrimp (unpeeled)
You will need to fill your pot 3/4 full of water and add your seafood seasoning. The most common seasoning used is Old Bay Seasoning. Depending on how spicy you want your seafood, the more you will need to add. Be generous, you'll be surprised how much you have added and once everything is drained it taste like you didn't season it at all.
Once the water has begun to boil, add your potatoes and sausage and cook for about 20 minutes on medium heat. Then add your corn and cook for about 10 minutes. Lastly, add your shrimp but only cook for about 3 minutes. Drain and serve with cocktail sauce.
Cocktail sauce:
Mix ketchup and horseradish until desired heat. ;)
You end up with this.....TA-DA!!
Bon Appetit!
