I had this at a place called "Steamers" in Beaufort, SC. It was steamed (hence - Steamers) and not boiled. Simplest damn recipe in the world and some of the BEST food I have ever had. This stuff had onion in it too, way more better.

Yeah buddy... That is some good stuff. Very similar to a low country boil except you eat the broth. It's very easy and very good.

OK now, who put the shrimp in the crawfish pot:?:

 

[parrothead]

We do a big one around here every year. We add onions, scallops, crawfish, crab legs. We call it a seafood boil. We use Zatarain's crawfish boil rather than Old Bay.

I was hoping to see some frog legs in there based on the title.

Looks like a Clambake minus the clams and lobster!!!

 

[WineMaster]

WTF, I thought we didnt BOIL meat. Whats with taking all the flavor out of the sausage, and why not throw in some rubbed up ribs.

 

[beerguy]

I like the look of THAT corn <grin>

 

[Scrooge Fan]

I, too, had my first taste of this at "Steamers" in Beaufort, SC. I loved it and have since prepared at home several times. Anyone who hasn't tried should do so. IMHO.

yes sir,
my mom send me the same post card four times from south carolina and the post card was the frogmore stew recipe. i figured i really had to try it and i've been making it ever since!

the recipe is a little different than yours, but similar...

in large pot boil 1 pound link pork sausage, 3 pounds new potatoes covered in water and beer. add 1 large onion & bell pepper, 3 celery ribs (all chopped), 2 tablespoons seafood seasoning, salt & pepper, boil 10 minutes, add 36" polish sausage cut into 1-1/2" links, boil 10 minutes, add 6 fresh crabs, 6 ears of corn, boil 10 minutes, add 3 pounds fresh shrimp, (raw, unpeeled), boil 3 minutes. remove from heat and let stand 5 minutes, drain & serve with additional seafood seasoning.

frogmore stew is named for a town in beaufort county, sc and is also known as beaufort or low-country stew. this recipe is from famous low-counrty chef, larry stevenson.
