Low Country Boil
You are in the South! If you have a wedding or special event, you serve Low Country Boil. This is just a big mess ‘o stuff cooked in one pot and served over rice or grits. There are as many recipes for this dish as there are for meatloaf or chili. There is a good chance you’ll like this dish as it has something for everybody–shrimp, meat, veggies and a great “gravy.” Here’s my favorite recipe.
