the recipe was good. adding the crab was a good idea. I guess this out of state person cooks like she wants.
Wow this was the best boil I ever made. Just the right amount of "kick" and the crab was a great addition. will make this several times again!!!! Thanks for sharing.I would give you 6 stars because of the red potatoes. They are the only ones I ever use! creamier and less water content than the others!
super simple, and really fun to eat. Never thought of adding the beer- the flavor is very subtle
when will you out of state people quit putting crab legs in Low Country Boil
This was deeeelicious! I think the beer really added something. Lowcountry boils are usually kind of boring when everything is just boiled in water, but the beer + sautéing the spices, garlic & cumin + the fresh cilantro made it sooooo very flavorful. I used turkey kielbasa and it was awesome. This recipe is a keeper!
I substituted half the water for 32 oz. of seafood stock. It just adds that much more flavor. Yum!

I've made this twice now and it is fabulous. It's easy and fun to eat. I added about a half of a teaspoon of crushed red pepper for a little zip. YUM!
