"It's not
your yankee momma's clam chowda!" - C. Ogier
Ingredients
5-6 quarts of water
2/3 cup old bay seasoning
2 pounds new red potatoes (the smaller the better),
cut in half
2 pounds of your grandmothers hot smoked sausage
links (or whatever hot sausage you like) cut into 1-2 inch pieces
12 ears of corn, husked, cleaned and quartered
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2-4 pounds of shrimp, unpeeled (or peeled for you
sissies out there)
Directions
Lightly brown sausage (2-3 minutes or so- don't cook
fully)
Bring water, old bay, garlic and sausage (include
some of the grease from browning) to a boil in a large stew pot
after boiling, add potatoes and cook for 30 minutes
add corn, then taste for seasoning and salt/pepper
as necessary
cook for an additional 25 minutes
stir in shrimp and cook for 4-6 minutes
remove from heat immediately and serve in bowl with
juice - great with sweet corn bread
Here's my recipe for
Frogmore Stew, sometimes called a low country boil.
My dad cooked this for us when I was a kid in Charleston - its damn good.
Contrary to the name, frog is not an ingredient - sorry.
