Brunswick stew is a staple here in Charleston. Typically, you'll also find pulled pork in this dish, but I wanted to lighten it up a little. I like to pick up smoked chicken from my favorite BBQ joint, but rotisserie chicken also works great. And, since I love Charleston shrimp so much, I couldn't resist adding that too.
Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat until hot. Add the onion and garlic and sprinkle with salt. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the bouillon paste and hot water, stirring until the bouillon completely dissolves. Add the tomatoes and mash with a wooden spoon to break up any big pieces. Add the potatoes and bring to a boil.
Stir in the corn, lima beans and Worcestershire sauce and return to a boil. Stir in the barbecue sauce, chicken, pepper, sugar and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer and cook, uncovered, until heated throughout, about 10 minutes. Stir in the shrimp and cook until the shrimp turn pink, about 4 minutes.
