Fresh Gulf shrimp, marinated in milk, egg and hot sauce, then tossed in a well-seasoned hushpuppy dredge and deep fried to perfection.

Hushpuppy Breaded Fried Shrimp

Some years back, Popeye's Louisiana Kitchen, which by the way makes the most delicious fried chicken evah, introduced seafood to the menu in some areas. Some menu items were offered only on a limited time basis. Hushpuppy Fried Shrimp was one of those.

I was intrigued.

So, for research purposes, I requested that my husband aka here as "The Cajun" swing in and pick up a small order of them on his way home for us to try.

2. Southwestern Pork Chops

Pork chops, rubbed with Southwestern seasonings, seared in a skillet and finished in a tomato-based sauce. Serve over hot cooked noodles or steamed rice.

Hot dogs, lightly grilled, stuffed with cheese, wrapped in bacon and then crescent dough and lightly baked.

Crescent Wrapped Cheesy Bacon Hot Dogs

Okay. If you, like me, already love hot dogs, then what is not to love about these?

 ✔ We've got hot dogs stuffed with cheese.

 ✔ We've got cheesy stuffed hot dogs wrapped in bacon.

1. Tri-Color Italian Rotini Pasta Salad

Tri-color rotini pasta is paired with red onion, celery, green and red bell pepper, black olives, chopped tomato and dressed with a homemade or bottled Italian dressing.

2. Crunchy Ramen Noodle Salad

This has been a personal favorite for years and if you add in leftover beef, chicken, pork or shrimp you have a great main dish salad!

A rice and okra side dish with bacon and vegetables, made easy with the Instant Pot!

Instant Pot Okra Pilaf - Limpin' Susan

I'm sure that you've heard of Hoppin' John. Southern Living says that "rumor has it Limpin’ Susan was Hoppin’ John’s secret girlfriend." Well, I don't know about all that, but I can tell you for sure, it is a delicious side dish! 

Where Hoppin' John is a rice central dish made with some kind of southern pea, most typically blackeyed peas, Limpin' Susan is made with bacon, rice and okra. Likely originating in the South Carolina Lowcountry, though nobody seems to know where the name Limpin' Susan came from.

To recap from my previous Social Media Roundup, while I have an email alert (tap that link to sign up) that goes out whenever I post new recipes to the website, in case you didn't know, social media is where I share daily roundups of the past recipes.

Unfortunately, although I do continue to share to social media on a regular basis, it seems that quite a few folks have left those venues these days. Because of that, I'm publishing an occasional summary of those roundups here on the website for Deep South Dish readers who primarily follow the website via email alerts.

This will give you a chance to catch up!

Social Media Roundup SUMMER 1 - What You Missed

Information you get from a recipe website is a little different from other sites. Although sometimes recipes are updated with revised techniques or updated pictures, recipes aren't a one and done type of thing. They really do stand the test of time.

I have folks who have been following Deep South Dish for years and rely on some of my older published posts for their regular meal rotation!

While I have an email alert that goes out whenever I post new recipes to the website, in case you didn't know, social media is where I have shared daily roundups for a lot of the past recipes. Unfortunately, although I do continue to share there on a daily basis, it seems that quite a few folks have left social media these days.

Because of that, I thought that I'd publish here on the website an occasional summary of things that I have shared on social media recently, for those who primarily follow the website via email alerts. This will give you a chance to revisit some of the previous content from Deep South Dish that you may have missed, or even forgotten about!

Here's what you may have missed on social media recently. If you'd like to bypass social media and visit any of these recipes direct on my website, just tap or click on the title or the photo to check it out on Deep South Dish. I hope you enjoy this feature!

1. Roadside-Style Vinegar Grilled Chicken

Y'all, saucing is completely optional with this 'Roadside-Style Vinegar Grilled Chicken' because it's so good even without it! Boneless, skinless thighs pictured here, are marinated in a seasoned vinegar and oil mixture, then grilled. Delicious!

2. Garden in a Pot Summer Vegetable "Gumbo"

A mix of summer's best veggies like sweet onion, fresh corn, zucchini, yellow squash, tomatoes, green beans, sweet bell pepper and okra, a perfect dish for the veggie lovers!

A collection of home cook rib recipes from DeepSouthDish.com, from rubbed and sauced and cooked low and slow in the oven, to grilled, Memphis-style dry rubbed, slow cooker, Instant Pot, oven-braised, country-style, and more to come!

Ribs!

I love ribs of any kind!

Put a few delicately smoked ribs that have been pampered over for hours on end in front of me, and I'll gobble them up for sure!

I'm just a home cook though, so I'm just not likely to be the one to stand over that wood fired smoker to make them. I'll leave that business to the experts.

Cucumbers and sweet onions, marinated in a slightly sweetened white wine and rice vinegar dressing with mustard seeds and tossed with fresh tomatoes.

Marinated Cucumber and Tomato Salad

• Seeing as it's summer
• That it's hotter than hot right now, and
• I'm certainly getting my fill of all the cooling foods I can right now

Here's yet another cucumber and tomato salad to add to the collection!

This version was inspired by one that I ran across in Paula Deen's At the Southern Table cookbook. It was a little bit different from the typical cucumber and tomato salad and interesting enough that it had me curious, so I thought I'd give it a try... with my own adaptations, of course!

Strawberry Angel Lush Dessert

A layered no bake dessert, made with torn angel food cake, topped with a cream cheese layer sweetened with whipped topping and condensed milk and topped with a strawberry glaze.

Strawberry Angel Lush

So, I was going to remake this Strawberry Angel Cake dessert that hadn't received much attention since I first shared it years ago. You know, get some new extended step photos, a new header, update the post, that sort of thing, but then I thought...

I know, I know... I'm always fooling around with my recipes, especially the older ones, but I guess that's the beauty about being a developer and blogger of food recipes - and one who has been doing it for so long now!

Anyway, I thought instead of revamping that recipe, I'd combine some of the elements of it with various other similar desserts I've written over the years and write a whole new recipe and you know what? The result was excellent!
