We’re dreaming of the Italian coast today, full of history and distinctive Italian flavor. One of SeaPak’s newest items, Parmesan Encrusted Butterfly Shrimp, can help bring the magic of Italy to life in our kitchens this weekend.

A fun twist on a seafood favorite, each shrimp is encrusted in savory parmesan and Italian herb breading and a delicious Tomato Romano sauce comes included in the package! We bet that each bite will have coastal taste and Italian flavors dancing in your mouth!

Parmesan Encrusted Butterfly Shrimp are delicious served beside a flavorful risotto or pasta. We love to serve these as an appetizer, atop of fresh salad, tossed with pasta or even beside a flavorful risotto. We want to know what other Italian meals you like to serve that feature seafood as the star. Ready to give them a try? Select Sam’s Club locations are giving out samples today!

Having friends and family gather at the table for a meal is a perfect way to celebrate the weekend, and what better dish to serve than a seafood platter?!?

Piled high with succulent shrimp and seafood, Butterfly Shrimp is the king of our seafood platter. We love including favorites like Popcorn Shrimp, Tempura Shrimp, Clam Strip and even Shrimp Scampi, but a seafood platter just wouldn’t be complete without crispy, tender Butterfly Shrimp. To try SeaPak Butterfly Shrimp, visit your local Sam’s Club today for a free sample.

We want to know what the star of your seafood platter is!

Delicious and slightly indulgent, it is the perfect dish for any occasion. SeaPak Shrimp Scampi is the perfect dish for a variety of occasions. It can be served in a martini glass for an elegant twist on a classic, stuffed in a potato as a tasty treat  or tossed with tender pasta for a conventional Italian meal. If you want to try SeaPak Shrimp Scampi, head over to the nearest Sam’s Club where it is being sampled today.

We want to hear how you indulge yourself (or your loved ones!) when you’re vacationing on the coast or treating yourself to a stay-cation.

We think any gathering is more fun when there is an element of coastal relaxation involved. From fruity umbrella drinks to tasty shrimp dishes, coastal flair always makes for great fun.

One way to dish up the coast, with a little Asian flair, is by serving mouthwatering SeaPak Spring Rolls. They are crispy, packed with flavor and full of delicious shrimp. Perfect as a meal or appetizers to share with family and friends, each bite shares a delicious taste of the coast. Head to the nearest Sam’s Club today to try one of these crunchy delights—they’re being sampled all day!

We want to know the other ways you share the taste, atmosphere or energy of the coast with your family or friends!

The month of December is often a special time of year when friends and family gather together to both reminisce about the past year and celebrate the year to come. We heard from our Facebook fans that their traditions involve everything from fun games and ornament swaps to special meals and activities. You know that at SeaPak, we love to cook. And, isn’t baking a “must” around this time of year? We think so! In that spirit, and in the spirit of giving, we’re hosting a giveaway to make it easier to bake some delicious cookies for those you love.

If you want a chance to win a cookie cutter, simply comment on this post with your favorite holiday tradition, memory or meal. We’ll randomly select 75 entries Wednesday, December 14^th at 2:00 p.m. EST to receive a lighthouse cookie cutter.

Why a lighthouse shape you might ask? It’s in honor of our very own St. Simons Island lighthouse. You might have seen it on our packaging. In case you’re unfamiliar, it’s the oldest brick structure in coastal Georgia and is still in operation today.  You can see a picture and read more about our heritage here.

We’ve also included our favorite sugar cookie recipe below. They’ll melt in your mouth!

We hope this sweet treat will bring a little coastal flair to your Christmas baking. Happy Holidays from all of us at SeaPak to you and yours. May this season be filled with laughter, love and the joy of the season!

If you fall into the above category then this is your lucky week! There will be a coupon in newspapers nationwide on Sunday, plus we have two great new recipes to share!

This Sunday, October 9^th we’re featuring a fantastic coupon in newspapers across the country. So, keep an eye out and make sure you tear out the “Buy Popcorn Shrimp, Get $5 off Popcorn Fish!”

Popcorn Shrimp is the best-selling shrimp of its kind—in the whole country! It’s flavorful, easy to eat and simple to add to a number of easy recipes. And, it’s the best way to help children learn to appreciate the benefits of seafood at a young age.

Popcorn Fish is one of our newest items and was modeled after Popcorn Shrimp. It has the same signature, crunchy breading and bakes up perfectly in the oven. It’s just as simple to use as the base for a variety of great meals.

Our friend Scott Jones from Jones Is Hungry developed the two recipes below…both of which are absolutely delicious!

So, keep an eye out for the coupon in this Sunday’s paper and give these recipes a whirl. We think you’ll love them! If you’re looking for more opportunities for coupons and the chance to win a variety of giveaways, visit our Facebook page. We’re celebrating Popcorn Fish and Shrimp with a month-long promotion: Poptoberfest!
