Low Country Boil

Here's a recipe for entertaining outdoors. You can prepare this over an open fire or on the stove in the kitchen. Cover your picnic table with a plastic table cloth and, after draining the liquid, pour the contents directly down the center of the table. Roll up your sleeves, tuck your napkin under your chin, and eat without plates or utensils!
