When I think of low country boils, I think of summertime, friends, and fun. A few weeks ago, Chris and I decided to make a small boil for ourselves and one of our friends. It was great; we ate, drank, and enjoyed each other’s company. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we did.
7 medium red potatoes
1 sweet or Vidalia onion
1 kielbasa sausage link (I either get spicy or beef…beef this time)
4 medium sweet corn on the cobs
3/4 c old bay
2 sprigs of fresh rosemary
1/4 c parsley
1/2 c salt and 1/2 c pepper (It’s a lot of water and I like flavor)
12 qt water
48 oz chicken broth
In a 16 qt pot bring water and chicken broth to a boil. Once the water is boiling, add old bay, parsley, rosemary, salt and pepper. Let boil for about a minute and then add the onion and potatoes. These will need to cook for 30 minutes, total. Set a timer for 10 minutes and then add the corn. The corn needs to cook a total of 20 minutes so set the timer for 5 minutes. Once the timer goes off, add the shrimp. Set the timer for 15 minutes and everything is ready to come out. Be careful and enjoy!!
