Roux, I saw Royal Reds recently (maybe Mon?).RouxTheDay wrote:I can't go to Gulf Shores/Orange Beach without going to the Gulf Shores Steamer. It's one of those places I fell in love with about 20 years ago and although it's not quite the same, I still love it.
I can't figure out why we can't get Royal Red Shrimp here but they are fantastic.
I think the owners have a sister restaurant called Ribs and Reds nearby.
The Steamer is located at the junction of 59 and 82 behind an Alvin's Island or some other souvenir shop.
I thought of you & meant to tell you.
I should have written myself a note!
I think it was at Whole Food, but the other options could have been Langenstein's or Breaux Mart.
But I really think it was WF, because I remember wondering if they were from AL. I didn't have time to ask.
I may need to go back today & if I do, I'll check it out.
I've yet to have Royal Reds tho & would love if you refreshed my memory on how you like to eat them.
And why . . . I think you said they were nice & sweet & very delicate. Is that right?
