Low country boil is one of those messy summer meals that I love. I just learned you can make it in a slow cooker. This recipe was online and I modified it a little bit. It is for 6 people. Or, me. Just me.

1 ½ lbs multi-colored fingerling potatoes

½ lbs andouille sausage cut into 1 inch pieces

½ lbs smoked kielbasa cut into 1 inch pieces

3 ears corn broken into thirds

6 cloves garlic finely chopped

¼ cup Old Bay

1 lemon

3 cups beer

3 cups water

2 lbs raw extra large, peeled, tail on, shrimp (at least 16-20 per pound)

Recipe also says chopped parsley, black pepper, melted butter, and hot sauce

Arrange the potatoes in a single layer at the bottom of a 6-quart or large slow cooker. I would recommend using a slow cooker bag. Layer the sausage, corn, and garlic in that order on top of the potatoes. Season with Old Bay and pepper. Slice the lemon in half. Squeeze half of it over the slow cooker and slice up the other half for wedges for serving. Pour the beer and water into the slow cooker. The liquid should be about halfway up. Do not stir. Cover and cook on high for 4-5 hours. Add the shrimp and stir gently until they are submerged. Cook 10-15 minutes more until they are cooked through. Strain and serve over newspaper. Add the parsley if you like. Serve with the lemon, butter, and hot sauce. And paper towels. Lots of paper towels.

— Thanks.
