Calabash, NC Shrimp
Now that we're home from the Beach LiveBlogging "Best of Carolina" trip, I wanted to share a very special place.
Check out Calabash, North Carolina. A lovely and legendary fishing village with amazing restaurants. It's quintessential North Carolina greatness.
Today I am missing this and wanted to share it with you here. A version of the famous recipe:
Calabash North Carolina Shrimp Recipe
Ingredients
2 eggs
1 cup whole milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 lbs small shrimp, shelled
Directions
1Beat together eggs and milk.
2Add flour, salt and pepper; stir until smooth.
3Dip shrimp in batter; remove and place in hot oil.
4Fry at 375 degrees until crisp.
This was divine. Our whole family indulged this one time into the 'fried' tastiness. Then it was back to the grilled basics. Actually, I ordered the Grilled Seafood Platter and ate half. It was perfection. Then I ate another 'half' of the Calabash Shrimp! :) Try it and enjoy a little Carolina!
