National Seafood Month is October so we’re celebrating again with another seafood recipe! (catch my Pesto Shrimp Dip HERE) One of my favorite dishes to order at a good seafood joint are fish tacos.

We love seafood and eat it about twice a week on average. Fish, shrimp, crab, or oysters…we love it all and it’s my favorite thing to play with for new recipes, especially fresh-caught fish and wild Gulf shrimp.

As y’all know, I’m always on the lookout for unique fish recipes to try since we usually always have some on hand that needs to be cooked up.
