Recipe Box, Grilled Rum Glazed Coconut Shrimp
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

So happy you were surrounded with so much love and had opportunity for memorial service for HH. ❤️. Quiet time is good though likely difficult. Allow yourself to be sad and grieve. It is all part of what is needed. You are in my heart Jenna!
Thank you Jodi 💕
What a special weekend for all of you. Memories and laughter help ease our grieving, Jenna. How very thoughtful of HHjr in installing the TV, and for helping with the grilling. I’m sure those kids with their happy faces brought much joy to you. I’d love to try your shrimp recipe. It sounds so easy and flavorful! Love and hugs to you, Jenna.
thank you Kitty, we had a ball and it was so healing for all of us…
Jenna, Those pictures of the children are so special and I am so glad you were surrounded by family. Thanks for sharing about the service for your HH. I don’t have words but please know I care. You always have the perfect words for every occasion so I feel inadequate.
I am glad Gordon was mostly a rain event and has left your area now.
That shrimp looks delicious! I’d like to try it.
thank you Bonnie, I think Mother Nature felt sorry for me and she really eased up on the storm 🙂 I’m looking forward to having a normal day tomorrow!
Hi Jenna, yes it’s nice that you were able to spend time with your family during this time right now. I am so glad that you are safe from Hurrican Gordon. Yes, this time of year is very scary.
The marinated grilled shrimp sound so good. I will have to try this maybe next summer. Thanks for the recipe.
Have a good week.

As soon as the coverage of Gordon started, I thought about you. I’m glad it was just a rain event and didn’t impact you too much. It sounds like your weekend was a fitting tribute to HH: family, football, good food and sweet happy children having fun. My heart, thoughts and prayers are still with you as this new phase of life begins. Feel the loving support around you as we followers send virtual hugs your way. Take care, Jenna.
