Low Country Boil is a traditional Southern dish originating from the coastal regions of the United States, particularly South Carolina. It typically consists of shrimp, sausage, corn on the cob, and potatoes, all boiled together in a large pot with spices. The dish is often served outdoors, making it a popular choice for gatherings and celebrations. The preparation involves seasoning the boiling water with Old Bay seasoning or similar spices, then adding the ingredients in stages to ensure everything is cooked perfectly. Once done, the mixture is drained and usually spread out on a table covered with newspaper, allowing diners to enjoy the meal family-style.
