Frogmore Stew, aka “Lowcountry Boil,” and “Beaufort Stew.”
Into boiling water add in the following order:
Several spices, link sausages, round potatoes (optional), corn on the cob, then bags and bags of shrimp by the pound. Allow to return to boil between each added ingredient. Do not over cook.
Eaten with your hands, it has a casual standing and eating while chatting vibe.
Sometimes an error in judgment causes a (too) formal affair to mistakenly serve Frogmore stew. It’s messy and so is best consumed in a bathing suit where there is available water to jump into.
