Ingredients
  

  • 16 oz raw shrimp peeled, tails on
  • 4 ears corn snapped in half
  • 2 links Andouille sausage chopped
  • 8 oz rainbow or fingerling potatoes
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 3 tablespoons Old Bay seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons Cajun spice blend
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • crusty bread for serving
  • butter for serving

Instructions
 

  • Fill a large pot with 4 cups of water and bring it to a boil. Stir in the Old Bay and Cajun seasonings.
  • Wash the potatoes. If any are large, cut them in half. Dice the onions. Add the onions and potatoes to the boiling water. Cook for about fifteen minutes, or until the potatoes are nearly fork tender.
  • Add the chopped Andouille sausage to the water. Once the water returns to a boil, add the corn cobs.
  • As the water begins to boil again, add the shrimp. Cook until the shrimp turn pink and are fully cooked. Then, remove the pot from the heat.
  • Drain the contents of the pot using a colander. Season the boil with salt and pepper to taste. Spread out the meal on dry newspaper, accompanied by crusty bread and butter. Gather your family around, and dive into your low country boil. Enjoy!
