I find myself basically having 3 go-to shrimp dishes and would like to expand me repertoire

The why they hell are you calling it Frogmore Stew instead of a "Low Country Boil". Frogmore stew is the Georgian name.

You pretty much got it. I don't know of anything else that's easy to throw together and doesn't require a few unconventional ingredients.

Coconut or tempura shrimp is always good, but I know a lot of people would never consider deep frying a "go to" even though it's not that hard or messy.

Question: are you buying the shrimp pre cooked?

Shrimp a la diabla

Not always true. Probably more than half the people I know in Charleston call it Frogmore Stew. Also, growing up we always called it Frogmore stew. I vaguely remember "low country boil" being used more in Myrtle Beach.

Hmmm. Interesting. This place is so completely infested with yankee transplants that it is getting hard to find people that still call it frogmore stew.

Dagblasted yankees, goldurnit!

Bingo -- it's old news for SC since they've come in waves for the past 100 years or so. Can't blame 'em. Not a lot of openings for skilled labor careers in the north when every industry packs ups and moves south for better tax/labor laws.

At least they contribute something and most are happy to try and adapt to their romanticized version of southern life instead of constantly bitching and trying to kill it outright. Plus, Hilton Head works nicely as a containment zone for the worst kind of carpetbaggers.

And to keep this on topic, don't forget about fried shrimp. Look up recipes for 'Calabash fried shrimp'.
