Shrimp - Foley, AL
Here we are in South Alabama. Really that is what they call it. We are minutes from the Gulf of Mexico - all that sand and shrimp. We have eaten it deep fried, grilled and pan-grilled. Probably the only version we have missed so far would be Ebi (sushi shrimp) and raw. The restaurants almost all have shrimp on the menus no matter what type of food is the mainstay – Mexican, Italian, BBQ, etc. etc. etc. Our favorite restaurants are “Shrimp Basket” [everywhere in this area], “Mickie’s” [Gulf Shores – same owner as Shrimp Basket)] and “Bahama Bob’s” [on the beach in Gulf Shores]!!! There are a lot of others but these 3 are the best and our favorites!
