Frogmore Stew

This Low country classic is casual summer eating at its best. Halve or double the recipe depending on the number of diners; spread out newspapers on the table and put a bowl in the middle for tossing the shrimp shells as you peel and eat them. Have some crusty bread for dunking in the spicy liquid.
