Your gathering

Set your boil portions

The defaults make a generous main meal. Reduce them when you are serving appetizers, bread, and several substantial sides.

What the Low Country boil estimate includes

The calculator treats the boil as the main meal and rounds weights up to quarter-pound shopping increments.

  • Shrimp weight is shell-on purchase weight, not peeled edible yield.
  • One whole ear is cut into two serving pieces.
  • The selected buffer applies to every ingredient before rounding.
  • Batch size must stay safely below your pot's working capacity.
