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.
- Add sausage and corn, cover and cook 2 hours longer.
- Increase heat setting to HIGH and add  in your shrimp. Your crockpot will be very full, so do your best to stir a little and squeeze your shrimp in 🙂  Cover and cook 30-40 minutes or until shrimp are pink.
- Drain your Crockpot Low Country Boil using a large strainer. Serve this meal on a newspaper covered table for easy clean up. We enjoyed ours with cocktail sauce, fresh lemon and some Cajun seasoning.

Just made this yesterday. So easy, fresh and healthy. I really enjoyed it! I wanted something light and summery and this fit the bill.
I would love to try this, but we don’t like kielbasa. What could I substitute, any suggestions?
You sub in more seafood, veggies or a sausage you do like 🙂
Made this down at the beach! Was a great easy recipe that allowed me to spend time with family rather than cooking! Also got fresh shrimp! Yummy! Thanks for the recipe!
Made this over the weekend for my family. Large family so I doubled and cooked in a large electric.Turkey roaster. Turned out perfect! Added green peppers from our garden too! My kids loved it…although we did use forks, lol!
Awesome Jennifer! I love that you added green peppers 🙂
As I live in the deep south, where crawfish, shrimp, and crab boils are a weekly thing, I felt the need to mention the other veggies that boil up well with this.
Zucchini
Mushrooms
Don’t be afraid to try anything that you really enjoy. I’ve had okra boiled in this way, but have not had any success doing it myself; it tends to fall apart.
We also don’t mince or cut anything, it all goes in whole, with the peel, just a little messier to eat, lol. But there is just something special about popping an entire clove of garlic into your mouth, it’s hard to describe. I would recommend peeling the onion and garlic for the crockpot though. And if you enjoy the Cajun crawfish boil, be careful when eating the mushrooms, they always absorb the most pepper.
I’ve never considered using my crockpot for this, as we usually boil up 40+ pounds at a time, but now that my husband and I are empty-nesters, I have longed for boiled shrimp for 2, lol. I’ve got to try this soon.
