For Two: Low Country Shrimp Boil & Rosé Recipe
Low Country shrimp boil is insanely flavorful, easy to make, and done in under 30 minutes. You’ll genuinely feel like you’re enjoying a restaurant-quality meal on a weeknight. Low Country shrimp boil, also called Frogmore Stew, was invented by shrimper Richard Gay in South Carolina in the 1960s. Like most boils, it is a symbol of community. For that reason, even when you’re making dinner for two, this meal tastes like a celebration. And what better way to enjoy a celebration than with sparkling wine? La Crema Sparkling Rosé’s notes of strawberries and silky effervescence stands up to the Old Bay seasoning.
