Here’s to another Seafood Sunday, seafoodies!
Have you noticed all of the websites now where you can take virtual tours of museums, zoos, and parks? Well since we can’t travel right now, today we are taking a virtual foodie trip to the Low Country for a roundup of our favorite low country seafood recipes. Known for rich culinary traditions and flavorful recipes, the coastal region of South Carolina and Georgia—also known as the low country, is just the spot for finding delicious seafood dishes made with a Southern flair.
Seafood tends to play a starring role in low country recipes. Many of these new favorite recipes demonstrate the inspiring and fun ways we can cook with fish, shellfish, and mollusk at home.
Besides their distinctive blend of vibrant flavors, these low country seafood dishes are loaded with essential nutrients, such as omega-3 fatty acids, selenium, magnesium and more. We all know the national Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend that individuals eat at least 2 to 3 weekly servings of seafood. We think you’ll agree that this roundup makes eating 2-3 seafood meals easy!
Okay ya’ll, waddya’ say we head to low-country for some of our must-try round-up of some southern favorites.

Cast iron skillets were made for southern cooking! And this Smoked Salmon Hash is no exception. This dish makes for an excellent breakfast or brunch option for your Sunday mornings, so you can start your morning with a health boost from the omega-3s in salmon!

Instant Pot Cheesy Shrimp and Grits
While shrimp is clearly the star of this dish, these aren’t your run-of-the-mill grits we’re making. To create an unforgettable shrimp-n-grits dinner that you’ll make again and again, we’ve upped the ante by adding goat cheese and chives to the grits. The result: a savory, cheesy and oh-so-satisfying seafood meal that will have your mouth watering before you even turn your Instant Pot on.
