Some of you may remember the Maple-Cherry Glazed Shrimp and Salmon dish we featured on TV. That dish born of my childhood in upstate New York and my memories of traveling to Vermont each year with my family to get real maple syrup. <br /><br />Well, it is American Seafood Adventure time again. This is my favorite limited-time offer at Red Lobster because it allows the chefs and I to experiment with flavors from across the country, and present dishes and techniques from our travels.<br /><br />This year is no different. The Lobster and Crab Bake reminds us of the time we spend in New England each year looking for great seafood inspirations. Our culinary team loves BBQ, so our New Georgia Peach and Bourbon Shrimp and Scallops is our twist on a summer favorite. We have added a slight sweetness of Georgia peaches with the savory addition of bourbon. Then we have taken an old favorite, Bacon Wrapped Scallops, and put them on a skewer and fired them up over the grill with a skewer of shrimp. The result is pretty cool, and a great twist for your grill at home. <br /><br />So what are you favorite American-inspired recipes? I always love to hear great food memories. Continue to enjoy your summer, happy and safe travels, and make sure you stop by and see what&#146s fresh today at Red Lobster!Chefs Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07711591003860764060noreply@blogger.com
