LOW COUNTRY BOIL

• Heat an extra-large pot of water over medium-high heat (you can do this indoors or outside with a propane burner). Add the seafood seasoning and bring to a boil. Add the potatoes and sausage and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 10 minutes. Add the corn and cook until tender, about 5 more minutes. Add the crab and cook another 5 minutes. Add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink, another 3 or 4 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small saucepan; remove from the heat and add the garlic and sprinkle with seafood seasoning. Drain the seafood mixture and transfer to a newspaper-lined table or a large platter. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with the garlic butter.

LIGHT AND SIMPLE HERB AND GARLIC BATTER

Steps:

• Mix dry ingredients together in a deep bowl.
• Dump in milk all at once and beat with a whisk until smooth.
• Coat pieces of food to be fried in batter and deep-fat fry as usual.
• Any leftover batter can be drizzled into the hot fry oil to make batter crispies.
• Double if necessary but I'd recommend making extra batches after using the first rather than tripling because the fizz from the self-rising flour will be deflate after the batter sits for a while.
• If you don't have self-rising flour you can use all-purpose flour with a tsp of baking powder and a good pinch of salt per cup.
