Next, add the smoked sausage slices to the pot and cook for an additional 5 minutes.

Step 5

Add the corn halves to the pot and let them cook for another 7-8 minutes.

Step 6

Finally, add the shrimp to the boiling pot and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and are fully cooked.

Step 7

Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove all the ingredients from the pot and transfer them to a large serving platter or spread them out on a newspaper-lined table for a traditional presentation.

Step 8

Serve immediately with optional cocktail sauce and plenty of napkins. Enjoy your Low Country Boil!
