She Crab Soup

A visit to South Carolina’s Low country means more than Palmetto trees and pralines. I should know, after spending the weekends as a grad student driving from one end of the state to the coast for one reason alone: the food. The region’s restaurants serve the best briny oysters, bowls of freshly caught shrimp nestled on top of bowls of creamy grits, and, my favorite, she-crab soup. But I shouldn’t have to wait for a trip to South Carolina to serve this seafood stew, and neither should you. Here’s how to make the Low country classic in your own kitchen.
