There are several versions of the famous Frogmore Stew but this is one that I have been making for ages. We call it Company Stew or Shrimp Boil because it makes alot and is always enjoyed. I can't recall where I got this recipe, but it's my favorite. The garlic and lemons add and extra zip to this dish. Get out the napkins..... Note: The whole process- start to finish - takes 40 minutes. Follow with a green salad... then watermelon. Your Company will love this.
Ingredients:
3 quarts water
1/2 cup old bay seasoning (amount is correct)
3 medium onions, quatered from stem to root
4 garlic cloves, smashed
2 lemons, halved
4 lbs small red potatoes, scrubbed
2 lbs kielbasa, cut into 16 slices
4 yellow corn on the cob, halved
4 ears white corn, halved
4 lbs unpeeled shrimp (21-25 count)
salt
lemon wedge, to serve
melted butter, to serve
Directions:
1. Place 3-quarts of water into a large kettle or stockpot. Add onions, garlic, Old Bay seasoning and salt to taste. Squeeze lemon juice into the stock, then toss lemon halves into the pot.
2. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Add potatoes and kielbasa; return to a boil. Cover pan partially with lid. Reduce heat and simmer, cooking until potatoes are just tender, 20 minutes.
3. Add corn; increase heat to medium-high and cook, covered, until tender, about 5 minutes longer.
4. Serve seafood, sausage and veggies on one or two large platters, with lemon wedges and small bowls of melted butter for dipping.
