Low Country Boil

This is one of my favorite meals to eat in the summer.. When we are at the beach, I have got to have this. Since we have worked hard all day in the yard. I thought this would be a nice treat for us all.. This is a awesome meal and my whole family loves this.


2 lbs. medium or large shrimp
1 kielbasa sausage cut in chunks
12 baby ears of corn
3 to 5 lbs. red potatoes cut into chunks
1 crab boil package
creole season
2 lemons sliced into


Start out in a huge pot with water and crab boil package. Boil potatoes for about 10 to 15 minutes. Then add the corn and kielbasa and let cook until corn is done. Then add the shrimp and lemons  last and when it is pink it is ready.  Drain pot and pour all the goodies onto some newspapers. Get you a nice loaf of crunchy bread and dig in. You can also add a couple pounds of crab legs to this. Hope you guys enjoy....
