Low Country Boil - Memorial Day 09

Now I know that you may be saying, this isn't really grilling. Well it is close enough, and is one of my favorites. I last did this on Memorial day.

Required equipment: Turkey frier, with internal basket.

The ingredients (approx 6 servings):

1.25-1.5 pounds of deveined shrimp

1 bag of red potatoes

6-10 half ears of frozen corn on the cob

2 packages of sausage (you can pick your favorite flavor/type)

Old Bay crab boil seasoning

Zattarain's crab boil seasoning in a bag. Use 1-2 bags depending on your taste preferences.

Several sheets of newspaper, enough to cover at least a portion of your table to spread out on.

For this particular batch, we used one bag of seasoning. I added a couple of shakes of Old Bay everytime I checked on the pot.

First, bring the water to a boil.

Add the potatoes, and let cook for approx 30 minutes.

Next, add the corn, and let cook for approx 15-20 minutes.

Third, add the sausage and cook for 5-10 more minutes.

Last, add the shrimp, and cook for 3-5 minutes until the shrimp is pink.

Finally pull out the basket and drain any excess liquid. Spread out on newspaper and enjoy.

We have done this one tailgating as well. If your pot and basket are big enough, it is easy to cook for alot of people, and has something for everyone.

Simple: Pineapple Teriyaki Chicken 6-15-09

This is about as simple a recipe as you can get. Take some chicken breasts and place in a large gallon sized ziploc bag. Add some pre-mixed teriyaki pineapple marinade. Leave in the fridge for a couple of hours to ensure maximum flavor. Throw on a heated grill on low. Grill for approx 20-30 minutes flipping every couple of minutes to ensure even heating. Normally we also put a can of pineapple rings in a separate bag, and add some of the marinade to it. Grill the pineapples at the same time as the chicken. Once you are done grilling, place the chicken on a plate, and place the pineapple on top for presentation.
