Skeeter’s Shrimp Salad


Ingredients

  • For the Shrimp:
    1 lb fresh South Carolina shrimp (peeled and deveined)
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    1 teaspoon lemongrass
    1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
    1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)
  • For the Dressing:
    3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
    2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
    2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
    1 teaspoon lemon zest
    1 tablespoon honey
    3 tablespoons avocado oil (or oil of choice)
    1 teaspoon fresh dill
  • For the Salad:
    1 cucumber (chopped)
    1 cup mixed bell peppers (variety of colors, chopped)
    ½ cup red onion (finely sliced)
    1 teaspoon fresh dill (chopped)
    Salt and pepper (to taste)
    Bibb lettuce leaves (optional, for serving)
    Sliced tomatoes (optional, for serving)
    Sweet buns (optional, for shrimp salad sandwiches)

Procedure:

Step 1: Prepare the Shrimp

  1. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the shrimp to the pan and sauté for 1.5–2 minutes per side until they turn reddish and curl up slightly.
  3. Sprinkle with lemongrass, Old Bay seasoning, and fresh parsley. Toss to coat evenly.
  4. Remove shrimp from heat and let them cool. Once cooled, chop into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2: Make the Dressing

  1. In a blender, combine lime juice, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, lemon zest, honey, avocado oil, and fresh dill.
  2. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Step 3: Assemble the Salad

  1. In a large bowl, combine the chopped cucumber, mixed bell peppers, and red onion.
  2. Add the bite-sized shrimp pieces to the bowl.
  3. Sprinkle with fresh dill, salt, and pepper.
  4. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat. Use enough dressing to lightly coat the salad—don’t oversaturate.

Step 4: Chill and Serve

  1. Refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
  2. Serve in one of the following ways:
    • Option 1: Over a bed of Bibb lettuce with sliced tomatoes.
    • Option 2: As a shrimp salad sandwich on a sweet bun with lettuce and tomato.

Chef’s Tip: The salad is best when chilled for an hour to allow all the flavors to combine. Enjoy Skeeter’s Shrimp Salad—it’s fresh, flavorful, and perfect for any occasion!

Low Country Boil | The Sportsman’s Table

We’re on the beautiful Waccamaw River at Deck 383 with another great recipe. This episode’s guest chef is Carol Penagos. Carol is a sous chef for Strand Catering in Myrtle Beach. Carol is cooking up a crab boil for two! Typically, a crab boil is done for a large quantity of people but in this recipe, she’s “boiled” it down for only two!

LOW COUNTRY BOIL FOR TWO

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound of potatoes
  • 1 pound of Large shrimp
  • 1 pound of mussels
  • ½ pound of little neck clams
  • 1-2 cups of crab boil mix ( we prefer 7 Seas Crab boil mix, or Old Bay )
  • 1 large onion chopped
  • ½ cup of diced celery
  • 2 tbs of minced garlic
  • ¼ cup oil
  • 3 lemons ( 2 of them cut in half, 1 of them slice into 8 wedges)
  • 1 can of beer (we prefer New Souths White Ale)
  • 2 ears of corn cut into 3- 4 pieces
  • 3 quarts of water

Directions

In a large stockpot on med high heat add oil, once oil is hot add the onion, garlic and celery and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add your crab boil mix. Take the 2 halved lemons and squeeze into the pot, toss them into the pot when done. Add 1 can of beer. Let simmer for 10 minutes. You want a nice aromatic broth with plenty of salt and spice. Don’t be afraid to taste test it. Then add 3 quarts of water and bring the mixture to a boil. Add about 1 pound of small potatoes to the boiling water and cook for about 10-15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender about halfway through. Then add the sausage and corn together into the boiling water. Boil for about five minutes. Ensure all contents are covered in liquids during cooking process and stir occasionally. Add the clams and mussels and cook for 8-10 min or until they open. Add shrimp and turn the heat off, cover the pot and let set for 15 minutes. You can serve it the traditional way by draining the contents and then spreading them over newspaper on a table so that you both can get to all the items. Or you can strain the items out into individual portion size bowls.

Drain the water from the pot and dump the entire contents on a table covered with several layers of newspaper. It’s okay to use a platter or large bowl, but low country boil is traditionally served in the middle of the table so everyone can just reach in and help themselves
