While I was living in Atlanta, Georgia, I loved going to Tybee Island. We rented a car and drove from Atlanta to Tybee Island, next to Savannah. On the way, there was this restaurant The Crab Shack with a gator lagoon. One of my favorite restaurants of the USA. Great atmosphere, great decoration & great seafood.
However, back in the Netherlands, I was looking forward to enjoy a low country boil again. So I made this Dutch version with crawfish, samphire, small potatoes and a mayonaise sauce. A little bit different, however it does remind me of my sunny days in the States.
