How to Make Low Country Boil

  1. In a large stockpot (at least 16 quarts), combine water, minced garlic, Old Bay seasoning, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), black pepper, and salt. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat.
  2. Add kielbasa, potatoes, and carrots to the boiling water. Reduce heat to medium-high, and boil uncovered for 5 minutes, or until vegetables are almost tender.
  3. Add corn and onions to the pot. Continue to boil uncovered for another 5 minutes.
  4. Add shrimp and lemon slices. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 3-4 minutes, or until shrimp turn pink and opaque. Do not overcook!
  5. Carefully remove the lemon slices from the pot.
  6. Serve immediately. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
