    I love making this for company or just for my husband and me. People get such a kick out of it being in the middle of the table on newspaper. I always serve it with individual bowls of melted butter, sprinkled with Old Bay and cocktail sauce. It's so much fun and yummy! The lady that had concerns about Uncle Bob not washing his hands or Little Mary with a booger on her finger should have a chat with said offenders. And the newspaper doesn't have any ink, etc., to hinder the taste or to be unsanitary. I'm been in the south since 1971 and know that eating off newspaper is a way of life, wheather it's crabs, a low country boil or what have you. It's a very popular way to serve seafood in restaurants,

    I love Low Country boil but as usual I put my own spin on things. I added crab legs and I use "Coach's" low country boil seasoning, love that stuff!!!!

    This has become a family favorite. You can't get any easier and it feeds a large crowd. We always include Paula's Low Country Boil as a meal when we are at our cabin in Wisconsin, and after the terrific heat this summer, we have rigged up something so we can cook it over a campfire instead of the kitchen. Excellent!
