A delicious example of South Carolinas low-country cooking, Frogmore stew is named for a tiny town on the coastal island of St. Helena. The flavorful one-pot dish, reputedly created in the 1950s by a local shrimp fisherman, calls for shrimp, corn on the cob, smoked sausage and new potatoes steamed in a savory broth. A favorite for parties and celebrations, its traditionally served outdoors on newspaper-covered picnic tables, accompanied by frosty mugs of ice-cold beer.

Ingredients

4 quarts cold water
1/4 cup Old Bay seasoning
1 Tbs. kosher salt, plus more, to taste
4 celery stalks, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 yellow onion, diced
1 garlic head, halved crosswise
2 1/2 lb. small red potatoes
4 ears of corn, shucked, each cut into 4 pieces
2 lb. smoked sausage, cut into 1 1/2-inch slices
2 lb. medium shrimp, deveined, in the shell

Directions

In a large stockpot over medium-high heat, combine the water, Old Bay seasoning, the 1 Tbs. salt, celery, onion, garlic and potatoes and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the potatoes are tender when pierced, 10 to 20 minutes.

Add the corn and sausage to the pot and simmer until the corn is tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the shrimp and simmer until opaque, 3 to 4 minutes. Taste the broth and adjust the seasonings with salt.

Transfer the stew to a large soup tureen or serving bowl and serve immediately. Serves 8 to 10.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Melanie3k from My favorite go to for BBQ's Don't get me wrong Hamburgers and Hot Dogs are fun! But if you want to impress your friends and family this will be your go to recipe. Frogmore Stew is so easy and allows you to spend more time with your guests rather than at the stove. I highly recommend lining your table with brown paper. Empty the contents of your finished product onto a cookie sheet and place it in the middle. Finally let your guests get to pickin'. It's not only simply beautiful but fun! It makes for great conversation! BTW don't ruin this with bottled cocktail sauce. I highly recommend making your own the day before the party.
