Crockpot Low Country Boil
Crockpot Low Country Boil ( aka Frogmore Stew )
Nothing says summer like a Low Country Boil. It has to be one of the most fun meals to eat. The combo of corn, shrimp, potatoes and sausage are unlike any other.
You should have seen the girls’ faces when I started dumping the food onto the newspaper covered table. “Mommy!!!! What you are doing?!!! The “cool factor” of being able to eat with our hands, off of newspaper, really enticed the girls to give this new recipe a try. Score!
This Crockpot Low Country Boil is a perfect recipe to make for a group of friends this summer. So grab some newspaper, shrimp sauce , lemons, and have a blast!

How to Make Slow Cooker Low Country Boil
- Start by spraying a 6 or 7 quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Add in water, beer, Old Bay Seasoning, and garlic. Stir until well combined.
- Place potatoes, onion and celery in slow cooker and squeeze lemons over mixture in slow cooker.
- Place lemon halves to slow cooker.
- Cover the crockpot and cook on Low heat setting 4-5 hours.

This recipe looks awesome, I can wait to try it! I just recently became a follower and I’ve enjoyed all the recipes I’ve tried so far, thanks!
Thanks Natalie! That comment made my morning 🙂 XO
Corey – it’s just me and my husband (both senior citizens) and this makes WAY too much for us. Any chance of cutting it in half or even in third with appropriate directions?
Could you just half the recipe and reduce the time a little. So for steps 4 & 5 ( 4. Cover the crockpot and cook on Low heat setting 4-5 hours.
5. Add sausage and corn, cover and cook 2 hours longer.) I would cook on low for 4 hours and then for step 5, cook fro 1.5 hours. I would keep the last step the same to insure the sausage and shrimp heat through. I hope that helps!
This helps a lot! My husband and I are both in the Pacific North West but we’re originally from the south east. I’ve done country boild in pot before but this slow cooker sounds much more flavorful. Your recommendation for how to do a half batch makes a big diffrence for us, since the standard recipe would be way too much food and not cost effective for just us. Thank your for taking the time to respond to questions, it really helped me. 🙂
I can’t wait to try this. We are having company from the south, this summer. I think this will be a perfect meal for when they are here!
This would be the perfect meal for you company 🙂 I hope you love it!
Yum! Your boil looks amazing!! I can see eating this dish while being at Cape Cod! I love it!
Corey, I really love your site. John and I will be this one! He’s a sausage-lover and my penchant is for seafood! Patty & John from Marengo, IL
Thanks Patty! I hope you love it as much as we did 🙂
Im new to this site/blogging but since my parents are from New Orleans, I saw this, it caught my attention! My dad does this from time to time and we throw in all kinds of stuff! Thanks for the post.
