Just like the coast itself, recipes have a way of changing. Some remain classics. Others bring surprises through new combinations and cooking tricks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This can easily be seen in the pages of Mariner\u2019s Menu<\/em>, North Carolina Sea Grant\u2019s seafood resource book that offers traditional and innovative recipes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a modern take on seafood, look no further than seafood stuffed avocado<\/strong>. This recipe brings together the season\u2019s best flavors of crab, shrimp and avocado for a refreshing bite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have some fresh fruit, snapper with tropical fruit salsa<\/strong> makes for a juicy plate. Saut\u00e9 the snapper and then add the mango, pineapple, orange and pepper salsa on top and enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grill-masters out there, take note. Throw on some scallop kabobs<\/strong> with pineapple chunks, mushrooms and peppers for a guaranteed fan pleaser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, a classic Southern recipe: a Carolina shrimp boil<\/strong> has long been my favorite to serve family style while on vacation at the beach. Passing around the pot, each person can grab a hearty handful of shrimp, corn and potatoes. You can even add Andouille sausage, like my family does, for a kick at the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enjoying seafood during the summertime is the perfect way to end a long day in the heat. Whether you\u2019re hosting friends and family or simply enjoying a homemade meal, these recipes are sure to delight and inspire you to take your next trip to the coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
