Foodie Friday - Low Country Grill

It's Foodie Friday!! Make sure you stop by
"Designs by Gollum"
for some great recipes and inspiration!!
Instead of making the traditional "low country boil" I made this "low country grill." Grilling really brought out the flavors! This dish was easy and fun to make.

Low Country Grill

  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 tsp. salt - divided
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder, divided
  • 1 tsp. seafood seasoning, divided
  • 12 small red potatoes, quartered
  • 1/3 cup butter, melted
  • 1 lb. smoked kielbasa
  • 3 medium ears sweet corn, cut in half
  • 1 1/2 lbs. uncooked medium shrimp peeled and deveined

In a large blow, combine the oil with 1/4 tsp. each of salt, garlic powder and seafood seasoning. Add potatoes, toss to coat. Spoon onto a greased double thickness of heavy-duty foil (about 18 in. square).

Fold foil around potatoes and seal tightly. Grill, covered, over medium heat for 30-35 minutes or until tender, turning once. Set aside and keep warm.

In a small bowl, combine butter with remaining salt, garlic powder and seafood seasoning. Grill kielbasa and corn, covered, over med. heat for 10-12 minutes or until kielbasa is heated through and corn is tender, turning occasionally an basting corn with half of the butter mixture. Keep warm.

Thread shrimp onto skewers, grill covered, over medium heat for 3-4 minutes on each side or until shrimp turn pink, basting with remaining butter mixture. Slice kielbasa into six pieces before serving. Carefully open foil from the potatoes to allow steam to escape.

  7. Kielbasa is a smoked sausage. You will find it in the grocery store by the hot dogs. It is one long link folded in half. Hope this helps!!

  8. What a lovely platter to see and what a wonderful meal to enjoy when it's hot off the grill. This would be great for a weekend barbecue. I hope you are having a wonderful day.

  9. This is so good. I had it once at a party. I'd like to try it though we don't get really fresh seafood because we live in the desert. Thanks for reminding me of these great flavors.
