Frogmore Stew

Here is a recipe made by Jordan. A flavorful seafood stew that also goes by the name of Low Country Boil. This recipe has crab and shrimp but you could really use any type of seafood.

Serves 4-6. Time: Prep 20 Cook 35-40

Ingredients

3 quarts water

1 quart chicken broth

10 cloves garlic, chopped

1 onion, sliced

2 lemons, sliced

1.5 tablespoons peppercorns

5 bay leaves

3/4 cup Old Bay Seasoning

1 lb red potatoes

4 ears corn, cut in half

1/2 Keilbasa or Andouille sausage, sliced

2 lbs shrimp, cleaned and deveined

3 lbs crab, Dungeness, King and/or Snow

Method

Start by adding the water, broth, garlic, onion, lemon, peppercorns, bay leaves and Old Bay to a large pot. It needs to be big enough to eventually hold all of the ingredients. Bring to a boil, then reduce to med-high for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to enhance the broth.

Add the potatoes, corn and kielbasa and cook 15-20 minutes. Add the shrimp and crab and cook 3 minutes. At this point, its important to avoid overcooking the shrimp and crab. The other items in the stew hold up well and just absorb more flavors as they cook.

Remove from heat and dish up. Ladle broth over the top and enjoy!
