Instructions

  4. 4Stir in the frozen corn and cook for 3 minutes over high heat until the corn is heated through.
  5. 5Add the raw shrimp and cook for 3–4 minutes over high heat, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are opaque and firm, the potatoes are fork-tender, and the corn is soft.
  6. 6While the shrimp cooks, melt the butter in a small bowl and stir in the minced fresh garlic until combined.
  7. 7Remove the pot from heat and drain the entire mixture through a colander, discarding the liquid.
  8. 8Divide the drained low country boil evenly into 6 airtight containers while hot, then drizzle each portion with garlic butter, top with fresh parsley, add lemon wedges, and pack cocktail sauce on the side for storage and reheating.
