In the Lowcountry of Savannah Georgia, Beaufort South Carolina, and Charleston South Carolina, this meal is a social institution. Originally named after Frogmore, South Carolina (the once remote "T" crossroads of St. Helena Island), this social finger food was adopted by the surrounding barrier islands and mainland because of the unique way it is served - plus it tastes great.


Into boiling water add in the following order:
Several spices, link sausages, round potatoes (optional), corn on the cob, and then beaucoup local shrimp by the pound. Allow to return to boil between each added ingredient. Do not over cook the shrimp.

Strain, and then pour food onto newspapers on a picnic table or the door of a trawler shrimp net. Eaten with your hands, it has a casual "standing and eating while chatting" vibe.

Sometimes an error in judgment causes a (too) formal affair to mistakenly serve Frogmore Stew. It's wet and nicely messy and so is best consumed in a bathing suit where there is available salt water to jump into.
Come for a visit and CityTrex will find or host a Frogmore Stew session for you!
