LOW COUNTRY BOIL



Low Country Boil image

When Kardea Brown was growing up on Wadmalaw Island outside Charleston, SC, she'd often gather with family beneath the Spanish moss-covered tree in her great-grandfather's yard, and they would spill endless buckets of boiled crab, shrimp, sausage, corn and potatoes onto a newspaper-lined table. Like crawfish boils in Louisiana and clambakes in New England, Low Country boils are a regional summer staple - they're super fun. These days Kardea carries on the tradition with her girlfriends, hosting a boil right on the beach whenever they visit. It's the best kind of communal eating, she says. "Instead of breaking bread, we're breaking crab."

Time 35m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay), plus more for sprinkling
3 pounds red-skinned new potatoes, halved if large
2 16-ounce packages kielbasa, cut into 1-inch pieces
8 ears of corn, shucked and cut into halves or thirds
4 pounds frozen crab legs
4 pounds jumbo shrimp (shells on)
2 sticks unsalted butter
5 cloves garlic, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Heat an extra-large pot of water over medium-high heat (you can do this indoors or outside with a propane burner). Add the seafood seasoning and bring to a boil. Add the potatoes and sausage and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 10 minutes. Add the corn and cook until tender, about 5 more minutes. Add the crab and cook another 5 minutes. Add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink, another 3 or 4 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small saucepan; remove from the heat and add the garlic and sprinkle with seafood seasoning. Drain the seafood mixture and transfer to a newspaper-lined table or a large platter. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with the garlic butter.

Tips:

  • Use fresh seafood: Fresh seafood is essential for a successful low country boil. Make sure to use seafood that is fresh and has not been frozen.
  • Use a large pot: You will need a large pot to cook the low country boil. A 12-quart pot is a good size.
  • Season the water well: The water for the low country boil should be well-seasoned with salt, pepper, and Old Bay seasoning.
  • Add the seafood last: The seafood should be added to the pot last, so that it does not overcook.
  • Serve the low country boil with sides: Low country boil is typically served with sides such as corn on the cob, potatoes, and sausage.

Conclusion:

A low country boil is a delicious and easy-to-make seafood feast. Follow these tips to make the best low country boil possible. Enjoy!
