Low Country Boil that was made for the October 2021 Throwdown.
Started with some fresh cream
Whipped up in the Kitchen Aid Mixer on speed 7 for about 20 minutes (photo is part way through)
When the solids separate from the whey , the whey is put in a cheese cloth and dipped into cold water to remove the excess whey. The solids are then added back to the mixer with 5 teaspoons of minced garlic, and a blend of Smoked Paprika, Cayenne, Black Pepper, Kosher Salt, Granulated Garlic and Parsley.
Once all mixed, it's formed into a log or butter stick shape and wrapped in plastic wrap and put in the freezer to set.
A large pot of water was brought to a boil and the seasoning blend added to the pot.
Because I was using tri colored baby potatoes (red, yellow and blue) I added eggs to the pot as the water was coming to a boil, then the potatoes which take about 15 minutes. The lobster was added with about 10 minutes to go along with the corn and crab legs. At 5 minutes left the crawfish (already cooked) and the sliced Smoked Chicken and Smoked Andouille sausages were added. The shrimp were added (EZ Peel because the shells hold the flavors in) were added in the last 3 minutes.
Here's the plate, with the previously made butter, melted and poured over everything and garnished with some fresh parsley (really only for color) Lemons and Limes were added for a bright note. Yes, this photo doesn't have the Ghost Tag added as I took multiples HAHA!
