Ingredients
- 1 gallon (16 cups) water
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 tablespoons Old Bay seasoning
- 24 ounces baby (or “petite”) red potatoes
- 14 ounces - 1 lb. hot smoked sausage, cut into 2-inch pieces
- 3 - 4 ears fresh corn, husked, cleaned, and cut into 2 or 3 pieces each
- 2 lbs. shrimp, unpeeled
- Optional, for serving: melted butter, cocktail sauce, or tartar sauce
Instructions
- Bring water, salt, and Old Bay seasoning to a boil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven. Add whole potatoes, reduce heat slightly, and cook for 15 minutes.
- Add sausage and cook for 5 more minutes. Stir in corn; cook for 3 more minutes. Add shrimp and cook until pink, about 1-2 minutes.
- Remove all of the ingredients from the water and serve on a large platter, in individual bowls, or on a picnic table lined with newspapers.

Notes
- The key to a great Lowcountry boil is using the freshest ingredients available. Serve this dish in the summer when you can get sweet local corn on the cob.
- Keep a close eye on the pot and don't let any of the ingredients cook too long. There's nothing worse than mushy potatoes or rubbery shrimp at a Lowcountry boil!
- Offer extra options for your guests to season their meals. Additional Old Bay seasoning is great, along with bowls of melted butter, tartar sauce, or cocktail sauce for dipping.
