Quick Wins (Add These to Your Next Shop List)

• Cajun or Creole blend: Instant depth for stews and rice dishes
• Citrus (lime/lemon): Bright finish for rich seafood and chowders
• Fresh herbs (thyme, parsley, green onion): Clean, aromatic lift

• Coconut milk: Silky grits, creamy stews without feeling heavy

💡 Pro Tip: Finish seafood off the heat with butter + citrus + fresh herbs. It keeps shrimp tender and fish flaky—no overcooking.

Recipe Spotlights (Mini Playbooks)

Shrimp & Grits, Two Ways

• Classic: Stone-ground grits + butter, sautéed shrimp with garlic, a touch of hot sauce.
• Coastal Twist: Stir in a splash of coconut milk; top with pineapple-mango salsa and a pinch of jerk seasoning.

Weeknight Jambalaya

• Use andouille or smoked turkey sausage, bell pepper, celery, onion, canned tomatoes, stock, and rice.
• Swap shrimp in at the end to avoid overcooking.

⏱ Speed Hack: Use pre-cooked rice. Simmer the base, then fold rice in to heat through.

Creamy Clam Chowder (No Fuss)

• Sauté onion + celery, add diced potato, stock, and clams.
• Stir in milk/cream (or part coconut milk), finish with parsley and cracked pepper.

✅ Make-Ahead Friendly: Tastes even better on day two—keep dairy separate and add when reheating.

Hosting Made Easy

Low Country Boil
Shrimp, sausage, corn, potatoes, and lemons—one pot, big flavor, zero stress.

🧂 Seasoning Ratio: 1 Tbsp Cajun blend per quart of water + plenty of salt.
🧻 Serving Trick: Drain and spread on parchment/newspaper—built-in cleanup.

Grill Night, Coastal Edition
Skewered shrimp or snapper fillets; brush with garlic butter and finish with citrus.

🔥 Smoke Boost: Add a handful of pecan or cherry wood chips to the grill for a subtle sweet-smoke note.

Make It Yours (Simple Substitutions)

• No andouille? Use smoked sausage or turkey kielbasa.
• No fresh shrimp? Frozen, peeled, and deveined works—thaw and pat dry.
• Sensitive to heat? Swap jalapeño for sweet mini peppers; add hot sauce at the table.
• Gluten-free hosting? Rice, grits, and cornbread (with GF mix) have you covered.

Gear Up (Optional, But Fun)

Our aprons and kitchen apparel add durable, wipe-clean coverage with a coastal look—great for boils, grilling, and party nights.
