HOW TO MAKE A LOW COUNTRY BOIL {WITH A TWIST}

old bay seasoning

🥗Healthier: homemade spice blend

💰Cheaper: seasoned salt

Homemade spice blend can reduce sodium while maintaining flavor.

shrimp

🥗Healthier: chicken

💰Cheaper: crawfish

Chicken is leaner, while crawfish can be more affordable.

red potatoes

🥗Healthier: sweet potatoes

💰Cheaper: regular potatoes

Sweet potatoes add nutrition, while regular potatoes are often cheaper.

sausage

🥗Healthier: turkey sausage

💰Cheaper: hot dogs

Turkey sausage is leaner, while hot dogs can be a budget-friendly option.

Shuck the corn and flash steam it.

Boil the potatoes until tender, then slice them in half for bite-sized pieces.

Cut the corn into thirds.

Prepare different types of sausage: andouille, chicken apple, and hot dogs for kids.

Season the mixture with kosher salt, pepper, old bay seasoning, minced garlic, and olive oil.

Prepare six foil packets with shrimp, sausage, potatoes, and corn, adding butter and lemon wedges to each packet.

Double layer the foil to prevent juices from leaking out.

Heat the grill and place the packets on it for 8-10 minutes until the shrimp turns white-orange and is fully cooked.

Dump the cooked contents from the packets into a pot to serve.

Pour the mixture onto a table covered with brown paper for a communal eating experience.

Garnish with fresh parsley and serve garlic bread on top.
