Low Country Boil Recipe
This Classic Low Country Boil is everything I love about summer at the coast — fresh shrimp, sweet corn, tender potatoes, and smoked sausage all boiled together in one big, seasoned pot. It's a meal you host, not just make: dump it right onto a newspaper-covered table and let everyone dig in with their hands.
