Ingredients

1 lb small red potatoes, halved
4 pieces frozen mini corn on the cob, thawed, cut in half
2 teaspoons oil

1 lb uncooked peeled deveined extra-large shrimp (16 to 20 count)

Low Country Boil-Like Grilled Foil Packets image

We just had (9/4/16) our first official Low Country Boil. It was a success!!! But it feeds 12 - 14 people. I wanted something that could feed about 4 people, so I came up with this. Same ingredients; less people; no boiling.

Ingredients

1 pkg green giant extra sweet mini ears of corn-on-the-cob 12 ct. pack, divided
4 red potatoes, small, washed & cubed, divided
20 - 30 uncooked shrimp, divided
1 lb smoked sausage, cut into 2" chunks, divided

old bay seasoning or cajun/creole seasoning, to taste
salt & pepper, to taste

Steps:

1. Precook potatoes, 10 minutes in microwave. Cool.
2. Heat grill to 400 degrees F. (you can do this in your oven, too, at the same temperature).
3. Evenly distribute corn, potatoes, shrimp & sausage between 4 heavy-duty foil sheets (approx. 12" x 18" each).
4. Add 4 garlic cloves per packet & drizzle melted butter & ½ bottle beer over each foil packet.
5. Season evenly (& generously), to taste with Old Bay/Cajun seasoning, salt & pepper.

Tips:

Use fresh seafood: The fresher the seafood, the better your low country boil will taste. If you can, buy your seafood from a local fish market or seafood counter.
Don't overcook the seafood: Seafood cooks very quickly, so it's important not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become tough and rubbery.
Use a variety of vegetables: Low country boils typically include a variety of vegetables, such as potatoes, corn, and onions. You can also add other vegetables, such as carrots, celery, and green beans.
Season the water well: The water that you boil the seafood in should be well-seasoned with salt, pepper, and other spices. This will help to flavor the seafood and the vegetables.
Serve with plenty of butter and lemon: Low country boils are typically served with plenty of butter and lemon. The butter helps to add richness and flavor to the seafood, while the lemon helps to brighten up the flavors.

Conclusion:

Low country boils are a delicious and easy-to-make seafood dish. They're perfect for a summer cookout or party. With a little planning and preparation, you can make a low country boil that will be a hit with your friends and family.
