You all know I watch the Food Network. Recently they had a ‘grill feast’ and Alton Brown made shrimp in a stainless steel bowl with charcoal on the bottom (I’m guessing) and wood chips on top of that. He covered it with a second bowl and presto-yummy shrimp. I bought some at the store yesterday and the man said I couldn’t refreeze them and to use them in the next few days. They were the jumbo ones-I got about 15 for $8.00. I soaked the wooden skewers like Alton said to do and popped the shrimp (shell intact) on them. Well let me tell you, we should have had drawn butter because that shrimp was tender like lobster! You have to try it! It was like having 5-6 baby lobster tails.
I wanted to take a photo of the last few peonies I have. The terrible rainstorm knocked them to heck and back. Of course I had to take a bunch:

Honeysuckle is a viney weed, but it smells so good I have to have some in the yard!

I believe this is called Florida Sun Coleus

Spirea bush

Sweet Bay Magnolia smells really nice too!

Your flowers are just gorgeous!! Your peonies are the same colour as mine! Mine are just about ready to start blooming so I’ve got my camera at the ready! lol I love shrimp cooked on the grill and should try it that way one day….I love putting them in garlic butter and grilling them on the bbq in my grill wok! Yummmmo! xox
We are shrimp addicts, so this just sounds so good. We frequently grill them in the summer with the shells on. Yum and double yum.
Mmmm, grilled shrimp sound wonderfully yummy. Your flowers are gorgeous!
