Beaufort Hilton Head Island Frogmore Stew Recipe Ingredients:
Also Known as Low Country Boil
Shrimp
(de-headed, but leave the shell on) about 1/2 lbs. per person.

Corn on the cob

about 2 or 3 small ears per person (cobbies work great).

Smoked Sausage

slice about 2-3 pieces, 1-3 inches long, per person.

Seasoning

Can be Lemon Pepper or Old Bay Seasoning or salt and pepper.
Boil water in a large pot, season if desired with salt & lemon pepper or crab season or Old Bay Seasoning. Add corn ears and sausage links. Cook until done (about 10-15 minutes). Then add shrimp and cook until shrimp turns pink and begins to float (usually less than 40 seconds). Drain all water and you've got the best tasting Frogmore Stew (low country boil) around.
Add some cocktail sauce to the plates for dip, an extra bowl for the shrimp shells, lots of paper towels and everyone can shell their shrimp as they eat. Great for parties.
Do not overcook as shrimp will be tough or mushy.
Some folks add potatoes and crab meat and it does add a unique flavor, although it is fantastic as above and a lot less work. You can modify the amounts however you wish.
If you want to eat Frogmore Stew the old traditional way, on the table.. lay out a bunch of newspapers, dump the pot and dig in.
Personaly.. I prefer the modern way, less messy and I don't really like eating the news.
