How to Make Beaufort Stew Low Country Boil

  1. In a large (12-quart) stockpot, bring 8 cups of water to a rolling boil.
  2. Add 2 tablespoons Old Bay seasoning, 2 pounds small red potatoes (halved or quartered if large), and 1 pound smoked sausage (Andouille or kielbasa), cut into 1-inch thick slices.
  3. Reduce heat slightly to maintain a steady boil. Cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Add 4 ears of corn, shucked and cut into thirds, and 2 pounds of shrimp (peeled and deveined). Return the pot to a boil.
  5. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until shrimp are pink and opaque and corn is tender.
  6. Carefully transfer the stew to a large colander to drain excess liquid.
  7. Serve immediately on a large platter. Provide plenty of napkins and your favorite cocktail sauce (recipe #73837 recommended!).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
