If you like your seafood with a bit of spice, then head to Skrimp Shack and try the new Nashville Hot sandwiches.

Looking for a quick seafood meal with a little heat? From spicy chicken sandwiches to fried shrimp with a fiery kick of ghost pepper sauce, the new summer offerings at Skrimp Shack are downright tasty. The chain is already well-known for its huge portions and southern seafood favorites.

The Nashville Chicken Sandwich was just spicy enough on its own, and the Nashville Catfish Sandwich was right behind it on the Scoville Scale. Of the two, I'd sooner order the catfish again because I love how it comes in a huge messy pile of fried fish slices. Both come on tender buns and your choice of fixings. If you get the sandwich in a combo, it comes with a side and fountain drink. My personal favorites are the macaroni and cheese and fried okra.

As for the ghost pepper sauce, you can have it alongside spicy fried shrimp or chicken. It's not just hot, it's creamy, tangy, and delicious as well. Finish off the meal with a cup of their cool banana pudding. It's the perfect sweet treat that tastes practically homemade.
