FROGMORE STEW
I've been using this recipe for over 20 years, ever since I moved to South Carolina. It can be adjusted to serve any number. Allow 2 tablespoons of seasoning per quart of water. If you cannot find hot smoked sausage, use another smoked sausage such as kielbasa and add crushed hot red pepper to the pot.

FROGMORE STEW -LOW CARB
Here is a low carb version of a lowcounrty favorite. Come October in the South Carolina lowcountry, when the shrimp season overlaps high blue crab season, it's time to make Frogmore Stew! Named for Frogmore, South Carolina, a town of about ten thousand people in the low-lying wetlands between Beaufort and St. Helena Island, this stew quite literally seems to have emerged from the marshes: it puts shrimp and crab front-and-center, and it's often served by outdoorsy characters, at hunting stations, fish shacks, and boatyards. And more than any other stew, Frogmore (which is also sometimes referred to as Lowcountry Boil) lives up to the spirit of one-pot dining, with whole, shell-on shrimp, split crabs, corn-on-the-cob, and smoked sausages bobbing around in a richly-concentrated shellfish broth.

LOW COUNTRY BOIL (FROGMORE STEW)
This is such a good recipe to prepare at the beach or a party. It makes a lot and there is something for everyone. This is very popular in the south, especially in the low country. What I like about it is that the husband usually takes charge of this and cooks it outside. It's a man thing. The wife prepares other goodies...
