Seafood lovers, summer is our time to shine — and there is perhaps no better way to kick off the flavorful festivities than with National Shrimp Day on May 10. Here on Florida’s Atlantic Coast, seafood is a way of life — one we take seriously here at Peach Valley Port Orange. Here are a few delicious dishes to enjoy on National Shrimp Day and beyond, plus tips for concocting your own shrimp creations at home!

Shrimp & Grits

We start our culinary adventure with a Southern favorite: Shrimp & Grits, of course! This comfort-food classic largely originated in the South Carolina Lowcountry, where the local environments’ abundance of shellfish and vibrant cultural influences contributed to a delicious culinary tradition (of which Shrimp & Grits is one of many mouthwatering exports). Here at Peach Valley, our Shrimp & Grits features jumbo shrimp, sautéed in a spicy lemon-butter sauce with red and green peppers, onions, diced tomatoes, and, of course, creamy homestyle grits as a wholesome base. It’s a feel-good start to your day, spoonful after spoonful of Southern goodness.

Shrimp Meets Salad Goodness

Here at Peach Valley Port Orange, you can enjoy char-grilled or blackened shrimp served atop any of our vibrant, nutritious salads! From our Summer Salad to Mediterranean Salad, these dishes take on an entirely new (and protein-packed) life with a hearty helping of shrimp.  

Craving shrimp goodness at home? Try one of the delicious options below! Whatever you’re digging into, nothing pairs with a shrimp dish quite like the sweet, salty air of the beach or local Riverwalk — perfect places to unwind and enjoy a hearty seafood meal.

Vibrant Shrimp Ceviche…

An effortless option for dinner parties or afternoon snacking alike, you can’t go wrong with shrimp ceviche. This fresh, citrusy staple comes from the coasts of Peru, where it is traditionally eaten with sweet potato, corn, raw fish, lime juice, and other vibrant ingredients. However, if raw fish isn’t your favorite, a variation with cooked shrimp works just as deliciously alongside red onion, cilantro and jalapeño.

… Or A Classic Scampi

Shrimp Scampi is another classic way to enjoy this superstar seafood! Simply pick your favorite pasta and pair it with a quick scampi recipe (simply a lemony garlic-butter sauce over shrimp) and enjoy with white wine at your next date-night dinner at home or special gathering.

Swing by Peach Valley Port Orange to savor this ever-versatile seafood favorite, and so many others! We can’t wait to serve up your favorite flavors.
