There are as many recipes as there are people living in Frogmore, SC.
Frogmore was renamed Saint Helena Island (for the second time) years
ago. Frogmore Stew is not a stew; it's a boil aka Low Country boil or
Beaufort boil.
I'd like to believe it originated with the Gullah people, but many
people in the area claim to have created it.
The gyst of it is hot smoked link sausage, new potatoes, chopped onion,
bell pepper and celery. Seafood seasoning (I'd go with Old Bay for the
boil). Fresh blue crabs, ears of corn on the cob, and at the last, add
raw unpeeled shrimp. It's all cooked in a big pot, then drained.
Frogmore Stew is served in local restaurants with a bucket for tossing
the seafood shells and corn cobs.
