Fresh, stone ground grits with cheese. Would have been better with fresh shrimp, but frozen had to do.
Tasty, and wife approved.

    I love making shrimp and grits, hard to fine fresh shrimp in GA.

    I sauteed some finely diced onion, bell pepper, jalapeno and minced garlic in olive oil, added some diced tomatoes and reduced it a bit. Added some black pepper and just a dash of salt and a couple of splashes of hot sauce.

    I do. Im a huge fan of sushi but hard to get fresh fish. The sushi you made some time back was unreal looking @bgebrent. Can’t get that in the mountains. I’m 2 hours from a decent size city. Town I live in has about 5-6k people.

    Yes, even more difficult north of you up in the GA mountains.

    Hey JR Georgia is the best place to find fresh Wild Georgia Shrimp. Check out the sign at Fairhope Rd and if the flag is out there are really fresh shrimp. Chalk board tells when shrimp are expected when boat is out. If not, Shell Cove has a lot on hand. Last week, they only had large.Tails only there and price is about $7.98 a pound.
    Other places have fresh shrimp also. I see the trucks along the road selling them too, but don't know who caught them.
    I ate Love's shrimp and grits a couple of months ago and they were great.

    Agreed but I live in Atlanta, isnt Fairhope in St. Simons? That is about 5 hours from me. My SIL lives there.

    I have a friend who lives on SSI. Last time we visited we went to Southern Soul BBQ and Barbara Jeans. Both quite good.

    Next time you're there, load up on the day you leave. Get home and vac seal asap. Then freeze. I do this with off the boat shrimp out of Calabash, NC, when the trawlers float in on Little River. No different than eating them fresh, minus defrost time. Otherwise, I hit up a seafood market in Cherry Grove, SC for "just a few hours off of the boat" shrimp.

    Thanks Buddy, heading to Tampa for the Outback bowl and will pick some on the way out. Good idea.
