Low Country Boil

Table for 10 on the patio, please!

Gather up some shrimp, andouille sausage, corn on the cob, potatoes, carrots & onions. Throw them in a big ol' pot of water with some salt and Old Bay seasoning. Boil that up. Drain the water. Dump on the table covered in newspaper. Dig in!

And so goes the menu for our latest Supper Club gathering. Tonight we hosted 4 other couples for our monthly Supper Club, and we tried a rather out-of-the-box idea (especially for a couple with roots from the Midwest.) We had heard about a Shrimp Boil ... or as friends on the coast may call it ... a Low Country Boil. With warm weather upon us and the patio ready for guests, we dined al fresco and loved our latest culinary experience of the Low Country Boil. In addition to the main course, we also sipped a signature drink for the evening -- Ruby Mint Spritzers -- and noshed on some crab-inspired appetizers and desserts including a mixed berry cobbler and pecan pie bar cookies.

Adding the final ingredient ... the shrimp!

Time to eat! Dumping dinner on the table...
