Low-country Shrimp Boil

Friday night we had our first Shrimp Boil. We found a recipe we wanted to try while in Hilton Head in a local newspaper. My co-worker, Caroline, so kindly let us borrow her turkey fryer for the event. This worked out great because all the mess and smell was outside and clean-up was easy. We started the pot with boiling water, Old Bay Seasoning, and zesty sausage, then added red potatoes, corn on the cob, and finally the shrimp.

I believe that Lee rolled up Isaac's sleeve to show off his muscles...the pot was so heavy that I couldn't lift it high enough to dump everything out on the table.

Once we had eaten, the newspaper got rolled up and thrown away. This was a really fun meal shared with a few friends and would also be great for a Sunday School party or family get-together.
