Low Country Boil | Frogmore Stew | Shrimp Boil
No matter what you call it, this is by far my favorite summertime meal!
And with July 4th just a week away (I know I can't believe it either), this is a great alternative to a traditional BBQ. The recipe is easy and accuracy isn't necessary ~ add or remove ingredients depending on your personal taste. Serving should be casual and clean up a breeze ~ lay down newspaper, cover with white Kraft paper and pour your bounty directly on the table. Provide guests with an offering of dipping sauces: lemon butter, cocktail & tarter sauce. Serve with dinner rolls and french bread, and of course this meal wouldn't be complete with a local beer or sweet ice tea!
