Spotting the big one:

Whether you’re hooking a big fish or spotting a majestic shorebird, nature here is bountiful and beautiful.

This time of year is ideal for fishing. (There’s really no downtime in our bountiful area when it comes to catching ‘the big one’.) Surf-fishing is on fire right now, with Black Drum, Bluefish, and Speckled Trout yours for the catching.

If wings are your thing, head out to our nearby marshes, waterways, and islands and prepare to see the many migrating birds. See seagulls, hardy terns, and pelicans on the shore, and keep an eye out for majestic herons and egrets as they fly over the inlets.

WARM, SOUTHERN COASTAL COOKING:

Shrimp & Grits

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS:

Boil chicken stock. Add grits. Cook for 18 minutes. Stir often as the mixture cooks.

Fry your chopped up bacon in a pan till done but still tender. Add in shallots and garlic and keep cooking for 3 more minutes—ahhh—smell that aroma! Spoon the bacon mixture out of pan. Reduce the pan’s heat to low and keep that bacon grease warm. Good things are comin’...

Add cream cheese and butter to the grits and turn it down to low. Stir till it’s creamy and well mixed. Add salt and pepper, then your bacon/ garlic/shallots mixture. Mix it all in and let it sit for about 8 minutes, covered.

Increase your bacon grease pan to medium/high. Once up to temperature, add the shrimp. Sprinkle in the paprika, salt and pepper and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring constantly.

Spoon grits into bowls. Then, scoop the cooked shrimp on top each bowl. Drizzle a little of the bacon pan grease for some extra Southern flavor!

A Retreat ‘Pro tip’: For a sweet, savory twist, drizzle a teaspoon of warm maple syrup before serving.
