Last night, I posted on twitter that we were making frogmore stew and I was surprised at how many dm’s I received asking either what it was or how to make it.  I think it is super simple and I haven’t met anyone who didn’t like it.

The ingredients are simple and scalable:

• 12 c. water
• 1/4 c. Old Bay Seasoning – add more if you really like the taste
• 1 lb baby red potatoes
• 1 lb sausage
• 6 ears of corn
• 2 lb shrimp

First, bring the water and the Old Bay to a boil. While that is coming to a boil, quarter the new potatoes, slice the sausge into 1 inch pieces, shuck the corn, and break the corn into halves.  Once the water is boiling, add the potatoes to the boil and cook for 15 minutes.  Next add the sausage and boil for 5 minutes.  After the sausage, add the corn and boil for 5 minutes.  Finally, add the shrimp and boil for 5 minutes or until they turn orange / pink. Drain and serve. Note that if you dont want to read this paragraph, the ingredients are in order of the directions.

This goes really well with a beer like Natural Light or Firefly vodka. Hope you enjoy it.
