Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Small red potatoes
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 2 pieces Zatarain's crab boil seasoning bags
- 2 tablespoons Old Bay seasoning
- 3 gallons Water
- 2 pounds Smoked sausage (sliced into 1-inch pieces)
- 6 ears Fresh corn (shucked and cut into halves)
- 4 pounds Large raw shrimp (shell on, deveined)
- 3 pieces Lemons (cut into quarters)
- 1 cup Optional cocktail sauce (for serving)
Instructions
Fill a large stockpot with 3 gallons of water, leaving enough space to prevent overflowing when ingredients are added.
Place the pot on high heat and add the Zatarain's crab boil seasoning bags, Old Bay seasoning, butter, and lemon quarters. Bring the water to a rolling boil.
Add the red potatoes to the boiling water and cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until they start to become tender.
Next, add the smoked sausage slices to the pot and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Add the corn halves to the pot and let them cook for another 7-8 minutes.
Finally, add the shrimp to the boiling pot and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and are fully cooked.
Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove all the ingredients from the pot and transfer them to a large serving platter or spread them out on a newspaper-lined table for a traditional presentation.
Serve immediately with optional cocktail sauce and plenty of napkins. Enjoy your Low Country Boil!
