Stop by the Bluffton Oyster Company and pick up some fresh shrimp. Summer is all about the shrimp; Po Boys, Shrimp ‘n Grits, Jambalaya, Blackened over Salad, Lowcountry Boil are among my favorites, it’s great to live in the South when you love shrimp!
Refreshing, light, luxurious and quite delicious. This has to be my favorite summer salad, served for lunch or as a small plate appetizer.
It’s from Real Simple, one of my favorite magazines.
