Low Country Boil : A Family Favorite
Growing up on the Southeast Georgia coast, this simple yet sensational dish was a cornerstone of family gatherings, passed down for generations. From my childhood days spent exploring the marshlands to my journey into wife and motherhood, where I recreate the magic for my own loved ones, Low Country Boil has been a constant source of joy and connection.
My husband’s family is from Michigan and whenever they come to visit, you can bet Low Country Boil with fresh, sweet, Georgia shrimp is on the menu! Their eyes light up as they dive into a steaming plate of plump shrimp, hearty sausage, sweet corn and potatoes, with all the fixins! So no matter what part of the country you’re from, you are sure to enjoy this delicious seafood feast!
