    Looks great!! Shrimp and grits are a favorite. Love seeing someone actually use enough heat to get some char on the shrimp too!

    Large BGE & Mini Max for the wok. A few old camp Dutch ovens and a wood fired oven. LSG 24” cabinet offset smoker. There are a few paella pans and a Patagonia cross in the barn. A curing chamber for bacterial transformation of meats...

    Looks great- I’ve never seen shrimp and grits with the shell on. Any benefit to do this way instead of peeled?

    Old retired folks get lazy.

    But apart from that, there's a lot of flavor in them peels. If you don't leave them on, save them for making stock later.

    QUESTION: I have always been told the shell keeps them moister. Not sure if true or not. Anyone know for sure?

    If peeled, add a bit of baking soda to help retain moisture.
