I love a low country boil. Usually, these things are made in bunches big enough to feed a football team, but since it's just Jason and me, I've had to learn to cut down recipes to suit our little family. Here is the easiest demi-country boil ever.
Here's what you need:
About 8 small red potatoes and 2 pounds of fresh, unpeeled shrimp
Smoked sausage links. I cut mine in half and only ended up using six - the rest will go into some sauce or another for a pasta dish tomorrow.
Corn! Since it's just the two of us, I only used two ears. I'll boil and butter up the rest later this week.
Use the whole bag, y'all.
So get a big and pretty pot and fill 'er up. Stick the seasoning bag in there and wait forever for it to boil. While waiting, do something productive. Like play on your blog, or eat a tacky cupcake you had to buy because the local Publix ever so rudely ran out of King Cake
Once it gets going, keep it on Med-High heat and toss in the potatoes and sausage. Cook 'em for about 20 minutes. Then add the corn. Go another ten minutes and then add the shrimp. Give it about three more minutes with everybody in the pot together.
Getting to know you, getting to know all about you.
Drain and admire
Dump and eat. Bust out the cocktail and hot sauce and you're good to go! So filling, so easy and not nearly as unhealthy as the other stuff I cook.
We still ended up with enough for at least four, but luckily this will keep and make a fabulous lunch tomorrow. SO good!
