Frogmore Stew

 

Relax! No frogs used in this one.

This is a hearty stew from the "low-country" of America's Atlantic coast.

 

Serves 4

1 large Onion, diced

1 large Potato, diced

2 ears Corn (on cob), cut into

3-4 pieces 1/2 pound

 

Smoked sausage (like kielbasa) 1 cup Beer (drink the other 4 ounces)

1 1/2 Tablespoons Old Bay

 

Seasoning 3/4 pound Shrimp, large, peeled

Salt, pepper, and hot sauce to taste Place the onion, potato,

 

corn, and sausage in a large, heavy soup pot.

Add water until the mixture is just covered.

Add the beer and Old Bay. Bring to a boil.

Reduce the heat and simmer until the vegetables are just soft (12-18 minutes).

Add shrimp just before serving and cook until pink

(about three to five minutes, depending upon the size).

Adjust seasonings and serve immediately in large bowls.
