Damn, man you make me hungry. Time to crank up the old motorhome hitch up the tow car and head south. Me and my wife have been thinking that away lately anyway, no work might as well travel. If you hear a diesel rumbling up your drive way It'll be me and her ready to eat My wife is one heck of a cook as well. Me I'm handy around the cook fire too. Heck we could have and eat fest.
John you welcome to tag along. Me thinks Jamsbo's a damn good cook from the recipes he has posted here. We are getting into the rainy season and sun sounds good too.
PS Whats Amberjack?

Jamesbro, could I get your recipe. I know this subject has been touched upon before. Is this a Georgia thing? I am from Louisiana originally and love grits and I love shrimp but have never had them together. Are you just cooking the grits with cheese and then adding cooked shrimp or is there some secret added. I have to try this one.
Thanks

Since you're from Louisiana and already know how to blacken shrimp. Here's another one.
Smoked Gouda cheese grits [add a little bacon] topped [ not mixed in]with blacken shrimp. Yummy
Please report back.

Jamesbro, we are going to try them this weekend. I will report back.
Rob, if I didn't have a daughter and two grandchildren in the house, I would just say come on by since you are close enough. Mayabe someday soon. I still want to get together with you and Richard. This year has had it challenges but I won't bore anybody with the details.
You guys and everybody else on here, have a safe and great laborday weekend.

Heck, PM me if you want to meet up some time - I am not too far away. We better do it before Thanksgiving before the car is in a hundred pieces for the winter (again)...

Jamesbro, my daughter cooked the shrimp and grits to your recipe and they were awesome. My daughter and I loved them, my son liked them and my wife thought they were okay. This is a keeper.
Rob, we probably had just about enough left over for one more person. They won't go to waste. I do want to hookup soon. My Cutlass will probably be down for the winter also. The brakes are out due to a leaking front wheel cylinder. I have a disk brake setup to install and you know all the other stuff that goes with that. I also need to pull the engine and transmission and replace the rear main seal and front pump seal. Then of course you know what that leads to. I bet you finish before I do.

Grits a ya ya
This is the best thing I've ever eaten. The smoked gouda with bacon has a wonderful earthy flavor that compliments the spicy shrimp. Some people add another layer of earth flavors by adding mushrooms to the cheese grits.
Cook 1/2 lb bacon drain and chop [save drippings in skillet]
Cook grits in chicken stock add a little heavy cream and one stick of butter.
Grade 1/2 lb of "Smoked Gouda" cheese add to grits
Add chopped bacon to grits
Dry 1/2 lb of 25-30 count shrimp
Roll dry shrimp in blackening season
Sautee shrimp in bacon drippings
Place blackened shrimp on top of Ghuda Cheese grits.
Ya'll ain't gonna believe how good this is.

They'll work. The trick to grits is to cook them slow so they will absorb all the water [or chicken stock] then add a little cream to make them smooooooooooooooooooooooth.
