A one-pot boil of Georgia shrimp, smoked sausage, corn on the cob and red potatoes, seasoned with Old Bay or a house spice blend. Traditionally served on butcher paper for shared family eating.
Lowcountry boil is a Gullah Geechee one-pot tradition from the coastal Sea Islands south of Savannah. Also called Frogmore stew after a community on St. Helena Island, SC, the dish became the canonical Lowcountry party meal for fishing-fleet feasts and beach gatherings. Variations differ by household, but the four anchors (shrimp, sausage, corn, potatoes) hold across the region.
