Before I married Jen, I didn't have a liking for many different foods besides meat and potatoes. I know, I know...that sounds funny and a little cliche, but it's true!!! Throughout the years though, she has encouraged me to try new things, and now one thing I really enjoy from time to time is shrimp. Have you ever had it? If not, you're truly missing out!! Recently I heard of the Great American Seafood
cook off 2008, so I checked out their site to see if I could find some some great seafood recipes. Obviously I was hoping to find something great with shrimp, and of course, I did! You should check it out next time you get a chance! I was really excited to have found something like The Texas Gulf Shrimp by Chef Mark Holley from Texas, that was probably my favorite out of the top five recipes chosen.
Many people are unsure about eating seafood because they're not sure how fresh it is or what it will taste like. I am here to tell you that I've learned by eating domestic seafood you not only get fresh food, but it's local and tastes great!! Something to think about the next time you're considering seafood.
