Our former pastor grew up in St. Simons Island. He introduced us to Low Country Boil and taught my husband Larry to make it. We love to do it on the patio in the summer time. Larry cooks the Low County Boil and I do the rest. It's not hard to do. Just follow the instructions. We use our big cooker and fill it with water, salt and 4 or 5 lemons that have been quartered and squeezed. Throw them in rinds and all. When the water is boiling good, add the ingredients in the following order.
Red potatoes 4 or 5 small ones per person cook for 10 minutes
Polish Sausage 2-3"sections per person cook for 10 more minutes
2 ears of corn per person cook for 10 more minutes
Shrimp 1/4 to 1/2 pound per person cut the heat off at this point and let it sit until the shrimp turn pink
Now our former pastor said that the official way to serve it is to cover a table with news paper and dump the whole pot out on the table. I prefer to drain the pot. remove the lemon rinds and pour it onto a big tray. You do as you see fit. Serve with Sara's Country Slaw, Janie's bread and Ms. Betty's Key Lime pie.
