NATIONAL YUCATÁN SHRIMP DAY
National Yucatán Shrimp Day on May 24th celebrates a dish exploding with flavor. Plump, peel-and-eat shrimp are the centerpiece of this dish, and the flavors remind diners of the sunny summer evenings.
#YucatanShrimpDay
Shrimp lovers shouldn’t miss out on a dish like this. While the Yucatán Peninsula is further south on the Gulf of Mexico, this recipe hails from the waters along Florida’s coast. The garlic, butter, and special sauce give it a kick that keeps diners coming back for more. Serve it with crusty bread and white wine or an icy cold beer. You can almost imagine the dazzling blue waters of the Gulf and the sea breeze with every bite. And don’t forget the large, tender shrimp, too.
HOW TO OBSERVE Yucatan Shrimp Day
Make up a recipe that says summer. Invite friends and family to join you – it’s not a celebration if you don’t. Add some chilled beverages, and you’ll be ready to enjoy some delicious Yucatán shrimp.

@donniem I'm a bit north of you on the Forgotten Coast so I have to give two of my local hot sauces a shameless plug. JB's Sopchoppy Hot Sauce, and Ed's Red. Personally know both the owners and they are true salt of the earth Mom and Pop entrepreneur's. Their sauces are also some of the best I've tried and as a Hot Sauce junkie that's a lot.
Hey, just wanted you to know that I went on line and ordered a couple bottles of that Yucatán sauce. Should be here in a couple days and I can’t wait to try it and the recipe! Thanks!
awesome. let us know how you like it!
Sure will!
