Question about Christmas Carnival


What exactly is Truvy scooping up besides shrimp at the Christmas Carnival?

reply

Pretty sure it was a shrimp boil, which includes corn on the cob and red potatoes.

reply

Shrimp and (if in season) crawfish is often boiled with heavy spices and corn and potatoes. Try it sometime. It's delicious!

It could be a "low country boil". most of the time it has shrimp, potatoes, corn and sausage. sometimes people do steamed clams.

you gotta be the from the South to know this stuff.
