As I have mentioned many times before, cooking while on vacation, for me, is a must. Cooking has always been an escape for me and I truly enjoy experimenting with local, fresh ingredients. And with two younger children and a evening view like this, it’s hard to entertain not enjoying a home cooked meal while staring off into the sunset.
Certainly, a benefit of vacationing at the same spot for 10 years is that local businesses get to know you. So, when I went into Anthony’s Seafood to grab some shrimp for dinner, they offered to sponsor a post and asked me to cook a seafood roundup using some of their fresh daily catches. (At this point, picture me doing back hand springs and offering to vacuum the guy’s living room with gratitude!)
Of course, I would love to cook a seafood platter!!
Out I walked with a lobster that I cooked like this.
And some oysters that I fried up and turned into a Po Boy.
Some lump crab meat that made some delicious Crab Cakes.
Scallops that I wrapped in bacon – because everything tastes better with bacon!
And the shrimp that I went in for originally. I grilled those for 2 minutes on each side and served with my delicious cocktail sauce.
We were all happy and very full campers that evening. And I mastered some delicious recipes to boot!
Thank you so Anthony’s Seafood for sponsoring this post! All opinions, recipes and fish talk were all my own. Please see my disclaimer page for more information.
