What Are A Few American Southern Cuisines?

Low Country, New Orleans, Cajun, Creole, and Soul Food.

And there are several other regional Southern Cuisines in addition to these five.

What is Low Country Cuisine?

There are plenty of “opinions” on the exact definition of American Low Country or Lowcountry cuisine. But most do agree Low Country cuisine is associated with the South Carolina and Georgia coast. Some say that the region extends further north and west, including all of the Atlantic coastal plain of South Carolina and Georgia.

Because of the marshy areas, long-grain rice is commonly combined with seafood like crawfish and shrimp. Classic dishes like shrimp and grits, red rice and sausage, and one-pot Gumbo stews are Lowcountry favorites.

What Shaped Low Country Cuisine?

Low Country cuisine is a distinctly unique Southern cuisine. The local bounty of fresh crabs, shrimp, fish, crawfish, and oysters became a central part of this cuisine. The fresh seafood fished from the local estuaries, and not available to non-coastal Southern regions prior to refrigeration, became the central hallmark of Low Country dishes.

The cuisine was also shaped by the coastal geography, abundant seafood, African cuisine influence, and the great cities of Charleston and Savannah.

The term Low Country is most frequently used to describe the coastal area of South Carolina that stretches from Pawleys Island, South Carolina to where the Savannah River meets the Georgia state line.

Why are Shrimp Boils Popular?

Shrimp Boils and easy, delicious, and feed a lot of people! The combination of these fresh ingredients is truly delightful.

Traditionally, a low country shrimp boil is cooked outdoors in one large pot and serves a big party or gathering. Once the food is ready, it is poured out onto long tables covered with newspaper, and served with lots of cocktail sauce for dipping!

And usually, it has shrimp, crab, sausage, potatoes, and corn…
