This recipe, also known as Frogmore or Beaufort Stew, hails from the South Carolina Lowcountry and the Georgia coast. The geography of the region, which is rich in estuaries and salt marshes, provides an abundance of fish and shellfish that make up the basis for the region’s cuisine. This recipe is great for eating outside not only for the ambience, but also because this dish is a bit messy to eat. You’re going to want to get in there with your hands, so grab a roll of paper towels and roll up your sleeves and settle in with this delicious dinner.

Could you make this with shrimp that doesn’t have a shell on for the cooking process?
Hi Sonya, yes, you can use shell-off shrimp instead.
