Sometimes you’re craving something fresh and healthy, but the recipe you had in mind is just too complex, too time-consuming, or requires too many ingredients. We’ve all been there; and we’ve all settled for something simpler. We’ll admit, since many of our 150+ Alabama Gulf Seafood recipes were sourced from chefs and restaurants, some of them are a bit…intricate. And they’re all worth the investment, but sometimes, that just isn’t an option for most of us. But you’re in luck! Many of our recipes are both tasty and easy. We’ve pulled seven recipes that feature ten ingredients or fewer—some that only require seven or eight. And lots of these ingredients are things you probably already have in your kitchen, like salt and pepper, butter, or olive oil. Next time you’ve had a long day and you want to reward yourself without exhausting yourself, give one of these dishes a spin. https://eatalabamaseafood.test/media/Bacon-Wrapped-Shrimp.jpg Bacon Wrapped, Jalapeño and Cheese Stuffed Shrimp The beauty of this one is in the title, really: It’s Alabama Gulf Shrimp, stuffed with cheese and peppers, and wrapped in bacon.
