If you love steamed oysters you would have loved our party!! We also did boiled shrimp, hot sausage, red potatoes and corn!
Everyone was on their own to open the oysters and peel the shrimp! It can be messy but it is certainly delicious! It was fun and with all the really, really cold beer it was all delicious!!
Everything was fresh, had been caught early that morning. Oysters and jumbo shrimp from the South Carolina coast. It didn’t take us very long to get all the sausage, potatoes and corn cut. Took even less time to cook once the water was boiling!
What a great evening!!
If you have never tried steaming oysters or a shrimp boil?…. it is very easy and is great for a party! 🙂 Do you like oysters and shrimp boil?

Looks delicious. Just returned from lunch – fried clam strips. Yum. 🙂
Hi Judy… yes it was! wooo, I love fried clams!! 🙂
Oh wow, always wished I could be part of such a party. Unfortunately being in Ontario this could never happen. Thanks for sharing.
Oh Diana, wish you were not so far away, you are welcome at my place!! 🙂
Yum—I don’t remember the invitation 😉
Hi Julie!! I know, I know… sorry..next time for sure! Would you drive to Greenville?
for good food and fellowship?! where would I not drive!! 🙂
HA!
Sounds good… I’ll remember that! 🙂
Wow, you sure know how to party. Looks wonderful. I have never had a lobster, oyster or shrimp boil. I think I’m deprived. Looks like fun.
Oh Suzanne, you need to plan a trip to Bar Harbor for the fresh lobster and then down to NC or SC for really good fresh shrimp. Oysters you can get most anywhere as they fly them in fresh. The shrimp boil is so good, the shrimp, sausage, potatoes and corn is how I do it!!
It sounds like a good old fashioned New England clam bake. Dig a hole in the damp sand of a beach, build a fire in the hole and layer seaweed, clams, potatoes, corn, lobsters, and whatever else you can fit in over the hot coals and cover with more seaweed. After an hour or so, dig in.
Love the New England clams!! Never had them like you described but it sounds delicious!!
Pass me the shrimp please. I’ll pass on the oysters. I sure wish we could get decent seafood.
Hi Julie! All of it, especially the shrimp were delicious! 🙂
What fun!! That’s a great party.
Looks wonderful!
Now that is a dinner party! My favorite kind, nothing fancy but extremely delicious food
Me too, also no forks, knives except to open the oysters!! 🙂
You should try putting the oysters on the barbie! Grilled oysters are to die for! But that looked like a heck of a great time! 🙂
We might try that next time,… we did have a great time! 🙂
Wow! I love a good shrimp and lobster boil. What a great meal you had! I agree on shucking the oysters, though 🙂
It was a lot of fun! 🙂
The shrimp looks fantastic! We used to live in South Carolina, and vacationed at Hunting Island, usually in the late fall (the water was still warm, but we had the beach almost to ourselves). We would go get some fresh shrimp every day when the shrimp boats came in. Thanks for reminding me of that. Good memories. 🙂
Hi Robin! Sounds like you love shrimp as much as I do, I could eat it everyday! 🙂 I know Huntington Island very well, we visit there too at least once a year. Lots of good memories at the SC beaches!!
Must be delicious!
