SHRIMP SALSA

Steps:

• Stir the salad shrimp, tomatoes, onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt, pepper, and garlic together in a large glass bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until the flavors combine, at least 1 hour. Serve cold.

CLAMS AND SHRIMP

Steps:

• Heat a large soup pot with extra-virgin olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the kielbasa and brown for 2 minutes; add the potatoes, onions, celery, bay, thyme, and pepper and let the veggies soften up 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Next add the garlic and the corn and stir to combine.
• Add the tomatoes and stock to the pot. Cover and bring to a boil. Cook for 8 minutes.
• Pat shrimp dry and toss with a rounded tablespoon of seafood seasoning. Add the shrimp and clams and replace the cover.
• Cook until shrimp are pink and firm and the clams have opened up, 7 minutes. (During the cooking time I tend to leave the temperature on medium high so that the soup continues at a rapid boil.).
