low country boil

Low Country Boil


  • Yield: 6-8 1x

Description

Nothing says “beach vacation” like having this delicious seafood boil. Accompanied by melted butter and yummy cocktail sauce, how can you go wrong?!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 Tbsp. salt
  • 1/2 cup Old Bay seasoning
  • 3 (24 oz) bags of baby Yukon potatoes
  • 10 ears of corn, shucked and cut into smaller cobs
  • 2 pkg. polska kielbasa, cut into 1 to 2-inch chunks (almost 2 pounds)
  • 4 lbs. raw shrimp (in shells)
  • melted butter
  • cocktail sauce

Instructions

  1. In a large stockpot, combine the salt and seasoning with LOTS of water. I’d love to tell you exactly how much but I don’t know honestly. I fill a large stockpot not quite half full with water. Bring this to a boil. (If you fill it too full, as I have done before, simply ladle out the excess to make room for more ingredients.)
  2. Add the potatoes and boil for 5 minutes. (Sometimes those bags of baby Yukons will have 2 sizes of potatoes….one size is sometimes twice the size of the smaller ones. If this is the case, boil the potatoes for an additional 2-3 minutes.)
  3. Add the corn cobs and boil for 5 minutes.
  4. Add the sausage and boil for 2 minutes.
  5. Add the shrimp and boil for 4 minutes or until all the shrimp have turned a nice warm pink all the way through.
  6. Drain immediately and serve. It will be super hot, so you may want to let the boil rest (on paper or in pans) for 5-10 minutes before digging in….if you can wait!!
  7. Serve with melted butter and cocktail sauce.
