Hello, buddies Austin Carter welcomes you all to Beyond The Bayou Blog which serves you flavor in different forms and makes you feel amazed with them. Today we will try such amazing flavors in coastal form with our Wild Gulf Shrimp with Clams Recipe.
I am going to serve this dish with Southern Cornbread and Whiskey Apple Cider Punch to make it wholesome or a full meal but you can serve it solely as appetizers as well.
This dish is one of my favorites to make. Quick, easy, and not short on flavor. I had the pleasure of partnering with Sea To Table and using their delicious sustainable seafood that is nothing short of quality.
