Dear foodies,
Here on the gulf of Mexico it’s all about shrimps: big shrimps. We’re on the Alabama-Florida border, where they seem to flavour them with a rub made of allspice (amongst other things) and steam them. A friend who grew up down the road from Orange Beach promised me the best shrimps in the world. She wasn’t lying…
On recommendation, I tried the shrimps from the Gulf Shores Steamer at SanRoc Cay and from Blalock Seafood Market. I ate mine with a big pile of steamed vegetables, which was exactly what I needed after all that soul food…
Next stop: New Orleans, food capital of the south… needless to say, I am very excited.
Yours, Amsterdam Foodie
