baci's baking - Low Country Boil

I love recipes that remind me of our time living in the south and this one is at the top of my list! Low Country Boil was created when a National Guardsman needed to create a meal for 100 soldiers so you know it has to be simple. Low Country Boil can be served on newspaper-lined tables for a quick clean up and can be doubled and easily doubled again the larger the crowd you're feeding, all you need is a bigger pot :o)

Low Country Boil

seafood seasoning, 2 t. per quart of water (I only use Old Bay!!)
12 red new potatoes
1 lb. smoked kielbasa, cut into chunks
6 ears of corn, cut in halves
1½ lb. uncooked shrimp, peeled and deveined

1) Fill a large pot with enough water to cover all ingredients. Add seafood seasoning and bring to a boil.
2) When water boils, add the potatoes and sausage. Cook on medium heat for 20 minutes.
3) Add corn and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
4) Add shrimp and cook for no more than 3 minutes. Drain and serve. Sprinkle with additional seafood seasoning and topped with fresh squeezed lemon if desired. Serves 6.
