The reason why....

A few years ago I made the New Year's resolution to try a new recipe each week to encourage more creativity in my cooking. At the time I was newly married and wanted to change what I cooked. What I learned is that I love to cook and I especially love to try new things....even if they don't turn out or I don't like the taste. At least I accomplished something...

Southern meal to get your fingers dirty!

Sean has made this recipe for many of our friends and family so it was requested that I post on my blog so others can enjoy. Fair warning, you will get dirty eating this meal. It's a good one to do outside on a paper covered table or if you are brave, inside on a cold winters day!

Frogmore Stew

1lb sausage (cut into bite size pieces)
2lb shrimp, raw and rinsed (not peeled)
12oz small red potatoes, whole
4 ears corn, shucked and cut in half (so it can fit in one hand)
1 onion, quartered
1/4 C Old Bay or Cajun seasoning

Put onion, potatoes and spices into a very large pot. Cover with water until 2 inches under water. Cook 15 minutes. Add sausage and continue to cook for 5 more minutes. Add corn and cook for another 5 minutes. Finally, at the shrimp and cook until they float, about 3 minutes.

Pour directly onto the covered table and eat up! Recipe is scaled to serve 4, but can be adjusted for more people.

Family Factor: all yum!
Stomach Factor: can be spicy if you get a bite of old bay
Time Factor: not bad for the meal you get
