Image via WikipediaThe coast of South Carolina yields some of the finest shrimp in the world. Using local shrimp caught on our own coastline is a great way to celebrate our bounty here in South Carolina. Recipes that have shrimp in them are in abundance in areas like Charleston and Beaufort, SC and the addition of saltine crackers as opposed to toasted bread makes this recipe uniquely southern.
