Frogmore Stew

Absolutely delish and a family favorite. This one works great for tailgating, and outdoor entertaining in cool weather...like now!! So give it a try and don't worry, there are no frogs in it :) The town of Frogmore, SC is the hometown of this amazing seafood boil!


Ingredients:

1 pound of smoked sausage cut in to 1 inch pieces

1 pound of HOT smoked sausage cut in to 1 inch pieces

3 pounds of large or extra large RAW EZ-Peel shrimp

2.5 pounds of small red or new potatoes (if you have to use larger red potatoes, cut them in 1/2)

12 ears of frozen corn (small size not large ones)

1 package of Zataran's crab boil in a bag

4 tbsp of Old Bay seasoning

1 tsp of Cayenne pepper

1/4 cup of white vinegar


****Special equipment, we mainly cook this outside on an outside burner in the larger turkey fryer pot, if you don't have one, you can get the burner and pot for about $60 at an outdoor store or at Lowes/Home Depot....If you don't, you can cook this inside in a large soup pot, but may have to omit some of the meat. Use a ration of meat that you will like, to fit your needs, and use only 1 tbsp of old bay seasoning. (I commonly do 2#'s of shrimp, 12 small potatoes, 8 ears of corn, 1 pound of sausage if we do it inside)**************


DIRECTIONS:

1. Fill pot half full of water, place on burner.

2. Add the zataran's crab boil bag, Old Bay, and Cayenne pepper, and your potatoes, and bring to a boil.

3. after 10 minutes of boiling, add your sausage and cook an additional 5 minutes.

4. Then add your frozen corn, be sure pot returns to a boil, and cook boiling for another15 minutes.

5. Lastly, add the shrimp to the boil, stir and turn the burner off (or remove from heat) Keep the lid on, and let it set for 10 minutes....enjoy!

***Another note, I personally serve this with the broth, it tastes wonderful....you can also drain all ingredients and throw it in a pan or on newspaper and dig in. Either way works, but when you leave it in the broth, your shrimp can overcook, so be careful!)
