Present Tense

They had this in the cafeteria at work and I wondered if I could make it myself. It’s so simple.

It’s also called low-country boil (I don’t think there’s any difference) and there is a version for the grill. I’m interested in trying it on the grill. The steps I saw called for getting the potatoes and corn mostly boiled, then adding protein and finishing on the grill in foil packets.

Ingredients (4 servings):

• 8 small red potatoes
• Four ears of corn, quartered
• Turkey kielbasa, sliced
• 2 lbs of shrimp
• 1/4 cup of Old Bay Seasoning
• 8 cups of water

Steps:

1. Boil the water with the Old Bay.
2. Add the potatoes and boil for 15 minutes.
3. Add the sausage and boil for 5 minutes.
4. Add the corn and boil for 5 minutes.
5. Add the shrimp and boil until pink (or 5 minutes).
6. Drain, reserving the water.
7. Scoop out servings, drizzle with stock.
