Growing up, id go with my family to our beach house on st. George island, florida. We would make the three-hour drive from moultrie, georgia, down to the gulf any chance we got. Our first stop as we crossed the bridge onto the island was dougs fresh seafood market, a bright yellow trailer stocked with the best selection of fish in town. After picking up mr. Dougs catch of the day, wed unpack the car and head straight for the beach to soak in the last few hours of sun before dinner. Our supper always featured goodies wed bought from the seafood truck served with a few ingredients mama had brought from home. My recipe for old bay rmoulade with crudits and shrimp is an ode to those getaways we took years ago. Stir together old bay seasoning, mayonnaise, and a few pantry staples for an easy sauce that tastes amazing served with steamed peel n eat shrimp or any other fresh seafood. Its the perfect first-day-at-the-beach supper, which, now that im an adult, is ideal paired with ros spritzers and enjoyed with my friends. The remoulade (which also travels well, if kept in a cooler) can be prepared up to one week in advance; store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
