We were chatting on here last night and talking about seafood. Made me hungry. Decided to try some frogmore stew...gulf shrimp, my homemade sausage from last weekend, fresh sweet corn, baby red potatoes (daughters wanted the little taters). Oh, don't forget the Old Bay. It came out pretty good.
 
Cajun, that sure looks good...

Thanks. 6 quarts of water, 3/4 cup of old bay, bring to boil. Add sausage and potatoes, boil 5 minutes, add corn, boil 5 minutes, add shrimp...done when shrimp turn pink and are done..


Little history

There are two kinds of social gatherings in South Carolina that revolve around shellfish. One is very much like a Louisiana boil, usually involving shrimp, corn on the cob, sausage, and red potatoes and is considered part of Lowcountry cuisine. Known variously as Frogmore Stew, Beaufort Stew, a Beaufort boil, a Lowcountry boil, or a tidewater boil, they tend be a bit milder than their Louisiana Cajun and Creole cousins. The name Frogmore Stew comes from the name of a fishing community on St. Helena island near Beaufort, South Carolina.
 
Excellent food-history lesson and points to you for that!

I really appreciate the details and your time in sharing them. In the 7 years I lived in North Carolina I never once went to South Carolina....it was like a whole different country and just...well...separate. Same thing growing up in Virginia- North Carolina was just pretty much "right there" as was the Eastern Shore, but South Carolina and beyond....wow, that was FAR AWAY country. Might as well have been Missouri

Thanks for the details and the great pics of a great recipe. My wife and I are going to love it!
 
Yes sir rea thats some mighty fine frog what stew. Looks great but I don't see those clams and mussel I was talking about for the boil. Just kidding everything looks awesome there cajun just wish you had some crawfish in there thou. Hey was all that done with crab boil seasonings.
 
Old Bay is the ultimate Seafood spice(not that you cant use it for other things). Looks great Cajun

Looks great and i love baby red or regular red potatoes myself..

Thanks for that research.I love the OLD bay and like to replicate commercial rubs-pretty much nailed old bay,but i still buy it for large crab feasts.
