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.

Low Country is great, but it is not Cajun. It’s from the Carolinas, not Louisiana
This was super easy and very delicious! I prepped the veggies the night before so I could throw everything in as needed the next day. (I used frozen shrimp that I thawed because that is what I had on hand, but it was still really tasty). Going to double the batch and use fresh shrimp and chorizo instead of kielbasa when our NM relatives come to visit next month, they will be over the moon! Would be very yummy with crabs too!
I bet chorizo is going to be amazing!!! Let us know how that turns out! 🙂
What beer would you suggest? That looks like a PBR or maybe a Bud you’re using.
I’m a fan of using an IPA 🙂
Thank you – I cannot wait to try this!! Question: Do you know how well leftovers would freeze?
In my experience, the potatoes won’t freeze well, but everything else should be ok.
I AM EXCITED TO MAKE THIS. iS IT CORRECT THAT THE SAUSAGE IS COOKED PRIOR TO PUTTING IT IN THE CROCKPOT?
Yes, my sausage was precooked.
