Deep South Comes To The Farm

Wish we could grow Shrimp on the farm! 

Farm life sometimes get a bit boring when it comes to eating just food known to the midwest.  Sometimes we have to call upon the foods from our southern friends.  One of those foods we love to cook and eat frequently on the farm are southern style BBQ shrimp made from a dear southern friend's recipe.  A spicy au jus livens up the dinner we call "one for the gods".  

Our taste buds were tickled many years ago when our oldest child lived in the deep south.  Many trips to see our grandson gave us reason to eat shrimp cooked like this.  And love it we did.  But of course, we like any type of seafood and especially that which is spicy and heavy with flavor.  I hope you like this shrimp dish.  Serve it with a nice wedge salad and a side dish of a vegetable medley and a big chunk of french bread to dip in the au jus.
