Frogmore Stew

Don’t let the name fool you. There’s no frogs in this stew, even though I think that would enhance the flavor. This really isn’t even a stew, but a seafood boil. Frogmore stew is indigenous to South Carolina. It is named after a low country fishing community on Saint Helena Island near Beaufort and Hilton Head, South Carolina. This seafood boil contains potatoes, corn on the cob, shrimp, and andouille sausage simmered in a heavily seasoned pot of water. The Frogmore stew has 5 minutes of prep time and is ready in 15 minutes.
