Whether it’s called “Lowcountry Boil” or named after another locale, most boils have the same traditional ingredients.   And don't forget - the more shrimp the better!


4-5 pounds of shrimp, uncooked, unshelled
4 tablespoons Old Bay seasoning
1 tablespoon salt
2 pounds small red potatoes, washed
1 ½ pounds smoked sausage
1 package 24 frozen mini corn ears, thawed


Fill a large stock pot with at least 6 quarts of water.
Add the Old Bay and salt and bring to a boil.
Meanwhile quarter the potatoes.
When the water boils cook the potatoes for about 20 minutes.
(until they are mostly but not completely cooked.)
Meanwhile slice the sausage into 1 1/2" - 2" slices.
Lower the heat to a simmer and add the sausage and corn.
Cook for 10 more minutes.
Add the shrimp and cook about 5 more minutes.
(or until shrimp are done.)


Serves 10
