Charcuterie boards are the latest foodie trend we’re obsessed with at Biloxi Shrimp Co.! Adding a bit of our own flare, of course, means we believe a charcuterie board wouldn’t be complete without a hearty helping of perfectly pink mouthwatering shrimp from Biloxi Shrimp Co., or, as we like to say, “Shrimp-cuterie!” In this blog post we've curated an assortment of recipes and even developed a new Shrimp Cuterie Bundle of just the right sizes and forms of our shrimp to make it easy on you.
Very few dishes immediately elevate a get-together like a well-assorted charcuterie board, which can act simultaneously as a stylish centerpiece to your party snacks while also being quick and easy to assemble. The dish has origins in France, with the word “charcuterie” coming from “chair” (“flesh”) and “cuit” (“cooked”): cooked meats! Placing assortments of meat in stylish presentations has long been a staple in French cuisine history and celebrations. It can even be traced back to medieval times across Europe. “Long live the charcuterie,” indeed!
Fast forward to today, and the use of “charcuterie” has only continued to expand worldwide. Boards can be personalized to include just about everything you serve up as a bite-sized delight alongside the traditional dried meats, artisan cheeses, mixed nuts, finger-friendly fruits and more!
There are numerous reasons in addition to their delicious flavor to choose shrimp over other meats. A Shrimp-cuterie board is a great option if you’re looking to cut down on sodium while still keeping the party going. Plus, sticking with shrimp means that pescatarians and other non-meat eaters can still join in on the fun!
