Have I mentioned how much I dislike hurricane season?
Yeah, so here we go again…but Gordon is mostly a rain event and I am cozy in my house with everything secured outside, and enjoying some alone time after an incredible weekend with extended family
We spent the weekend celebrating HH’s life, sharing lots of laughs and wonderful sweet memories
HHjr installed a large flat screen TV in our gathering area under the house
We spent most of Saturday watching football, HHjr created an outdoor “man cave” complete with 2 tier seating!
He had several grills going, 4 racks of ribs and 2 pork butts to satisfy our game day hunger
While the adults watched football, the children were busy swimming, playing in the sand
Playing corn hole [bean bag toss]
And fishing!
On Sunday we had a beautiful memorial service at sunset on our boat in the Gulf waters and then I spent a quiet Monday relaxing with my immediate family
We enjoyed a simple dinner of grilled shrimp, marinated in coconut milk and rum
We did a take off of our favorite Coconut Shrimp with Orange Marmalade Sauce
We marinated the shrimp in coconut milk and coconut rum
Then we made a basting sauce with orange marmalade, soy sauce and coconut
After marinating all afternoon, the shrimp were put on skewers and seasoned with salt & pepper
After 5-6 minutes on a medium hot grill, dinner was ready 😋
There is nothing better than fresh Alabama wild shrimp
