I made this exact dish 01/01/06....but with King Crab Legs! It is a good dish, but a fun dish. and I think that those who did not like it, did not (1) know how to serve it, (2) it is NOT a stew! The name is misleading because there is no gravy to speak of, it is just boiled food in one pot, but very tasty. It is just an "ole Fashion" crab .... shrimp, boil! with your entire meal in one pot! I think this recipe had a few mistakes in it. You should start with the corn on the cob (regardless if it is fresh or frozen) First, because it takes longer to cook, actually I boiled my corn in a separate pot, and in my main pot I had the bay seasoning boiling. Then I'd commence to add the potatoes, and then the sausage, and in the last 4 minutes I threw in the seafood, and my already cooked corn.

In upstate NY we had clam steams, same concept,corn, potatoes,sausage,chicken,clams steamed in baskets..Lived in southern PA and got introduced to Old Bay from MD over the border and same concept again... doesn't matter what you throw in the pot. add the Old Bay, throw in a beer or two, drain throw out in bowls, newspapers and it never fails. the ones that rated at 1 star are very picky eaters or have no imagination. I am now in NC and have condo on beach and when I go there, first stop, fish shop.. and the pot is boiling. Use your imagination, what you like, throw in the pot. It will come out good.

Shirley, Thanks for letting the rest of the world in on our little secret! I'm a native South Carolinian and have been makung this for special friends and special occasions for 30 years. I prefer to add two large onions and two bottles of beer at the beginning and have been known to throw in a few blue crabs. This is best served outdoors, along with plenty of napkins and adult beverages!

My husband and I were invited to a friend's home for dinner one night. This was served. I could not remember the name. After reading a book about Myrtle Beach ~ Frogmore Stew was mentioned. I was so EXCITED to find this recipe. It is absolutely great. My boys loved it too! This is now going to be on the dinner menu in my home often. Thank you for sharing!

I'm definitely the minority on this one... But I didn't think there was much to this stew. Once drained, it pretty much tasted like I just threw together the potatoes, sausage, corn and shrimp. I didn't find the old bay seasoning to add much to the flavor and therefore didn't find this impressive. Sorry!

I actually live about 5 minutes from Frogmore, SC and I have to tell you that we all love this stew!! Easy to prepare and feeds many people. Our kids get excited when we serve the stew because they love peeling the shrimp. We also add onions to the stew with the potatoes to give it more flavor....

This is the same basic recipe we use for crawfish too - although with crawfish it is best to soak them in HOT salt water first for about 10 minutes!

I used 1 lb of shrimp, 4 ears of corn, 2 lbs of potatoes, 1 lb of sausage, a tablespoon of Zatarain's liquid crab and shrimp boil, and a few shakes of Old Bay since I don't like Old Bay that much. It came out terrific! Loved trying something new.

I hate to be the one to say that this is overrated because I wanted this to be a five star due to how fun it was to make and looked good. I thought it was ok, my BF thought it was not worth making again and my 12 yrs old said she loved the kilbasa I used.

So good! My fiance is allergic to shrimp so I split it into two pots before adding the shrimp to the second pot. He said it was amazing with just the sausage as well. I used half Italian sauage and half hot sausage instead. Also used more Old Bay (we're displaced Marylanders and can't get enough). Will make over and over- thanks!

Try it, you're gonna love it! We really like the flavor of Old Bay and usually double the amount shown in the recipe. After adding the shrimp set king crab legs on the top of everything (don't mix in or the meat will get mushy) and cook until hot.....that'll keep 'em coming back!

This was really good. It was a unique combination. Very easy to make. I added carrots along with the potatoes and onion with the corn. Both of my boys (9 & 3) tried it and ate a variety of pieces. Hubby said he'd like it again, so this is another keeper!

Easy and good. Especially for last minute company, since it takes minutes to prepare, and you can't mess it up. Old Bay is found near the seafood counter at most grocery stores. French bread and drinks, and you have a meal.

This was great. Served it to 9 people and everyone loved it. I added a lot of salt and also a small jar of liquid seasoning, 2 whole onions and garlic to water. I'm glad I cooked it outside though as it's messy to handle. Would make again.
