Always called it Country Lo Boil. Serve it at least twice a year.

Spread newspaper on the table and when finished roll all the disposable stuff up and in a snap, a clean table.

Enjoy!

btw, friend I grew up with and still keep in touch owns The Jolly Green Thumb on Governor's Drive. The Horzempa's

Rhizo, you sure know how to make a girl hungry! Do you use a special kind of smoked sausage?

yes in Louisiana we call it a Boil or a low country Boil, we use crawfish, shrimp, crabs what ever seafood is available and always add the corn, potatoes, onions and some times the sausage, seasonings etc. Been eating like that since I could chew food LOL
The best of the best!

patti, last time I had country boil, Father's Day, I bought at Wal Mart Sam's special smoked sausage. My boys and I both loved it.

Thanks, Glenda. Doesn't that just make your mouth water?

My grandson, when he finishes indulging himself on Country Lo Boil, he always asks: When is the next time we're gonna have this!

Always his first pick, when given a choice, is this, for a meal at my place. .

My son's catch with his fishing buddies, couple weeks ago, in Destin. A days catch.

I use newspapers when I'm eating fresh blue crab or oysters.....haven't ever had the need for Frogmore Stew! Fingers get nice and messy, but that's it. I saw the picture of the fish when you posted it earlier. It really whetted my appetite.

Patti, I don't use a special brand of sausage....it's just a smoked sausage along the line of kielbasa. Hillshire comes to mind.

Coming in a close second to the taste of this dish is the aroma of it wafting through the house. Hmmmmmm, it's those aromatic spices in the Old Bay.

Back in the Lowcountry, it's everyday fare but no one gets tired of it. It's served at every big and small gathering. It's easy to cook up a small batch as well as big kettles of it.

Raven, I've also had it with blue crab. So good. That's another sea food I dream about having again.

First KT get together, here in B'ham, LKGrace had a Lo Country Boil. She had all the fixings in a huge kettle, for everyone to enjoy. We had at least 15 KT'ers. T'was fun!

She also fixed it when some of us went to the beach years ago. Took her huge kettle!

Do you know the Horzempa's?

My dad had a huge black kettle, like a witches pot lol, that he would build a wood fire under to do all our boils, a wood boat paddle for stirring. I really miss those days.

Glenda, don't know the Horzempas. I know where the Jolly Green Thumb is, but have never been there.
