Shrimp and Grits, a Mother's Day surprise for my Southern wife -- this is her favorite thing.
Gulf Shrimp, Conecuh smoked sausage, thick savory gouda grits, creamy garlic reduction, and garlic butter.
Pulling this off during a pandemic took some advance planning. Keeping her from figuring it out until dinner took a lot more.
@Stonekettle
Nice work Jim. Sounds like a lot of love went into that meal.
@stueytheround Lot of butter anyway.
@Stonekettle we did shrimp scampi for our m-day celebrations. Wife has a favorite Italian place that she usually gets it from so the goal was to mimic that and it came pretty darn close. Shrimp went on the grocery list right after dinner so we can repeat soon.
@Stonekettle Would eat
@Stonekettle Inspired me to do the same-but ran out of grits! So...polenta with paprika, served with black beans, sausage, and sliced avacado with a fried egg on top. Little bite of heaven. Hope you and yours stay safe and don’t have fires to deal with.
@Stonekettle these are the best type of Memories!
My best surprise for Stuey was his 40th birthday, 3 months of planning for 36 hours we will never forget
