Awesome.  And I'm guessing the one fish was well worth it.   'c;

Frogmore stew looks closely related to a low country boil.  Yes.

Frogmore Stew = Beaufort Stew = Lowcountry Boil

The secret is to get all of your other ingredients nice and cooked and have it at a ROLLING boil and then add your shrimp in the last step.  As soon as you add the shrimp, cut off the heat and just let them soak in there for another 10-15 minutes before you drain it and serve.  Also, I highly recommend the boil packets as opposed to the liquid boil, but that's probably just my personal preference.

what proximity was that in?  I've been throwing like hell southern coast of NC with little to show past few weeks which is what I expect with no boat.  Find fish but it's a desert and averaging about 1 a week.
