I thought Morehead City was right on the beach. Pretty close, I guess!

When we went to Myrtle Beach, it was fun going out to eat. We did get some delicious seafood there!

I have been on a kick lately with scallops and shrimp. I get the fresh ones at the grocery store. They are easy for me to fix for one and so delicious. I saute’ them in a bit of oil,butter,garlic, salt, pepper, (pakrika for color only) and I can have them ready in ten minutes after they are rinsed and drained. My side veggie is usually asparagus...

How did you fix your shrimp the other night....breaded and fried?...I love them that way!

WE were in a hurry and they were fresh, so we just boiled them, shells on, then peeled them. When they are fresh like that, the shells are soft, almost impossible to get off. After you freeze them, the shells get hard and it’s much easier to peel them.

These are the brown summer shrimp. We’ll try to load up the freezer in the fall when the greentails come through. They taste even better! I do love them fried!

Scallops and shrimp and asparagus! Ummm! Ever tried spoonbread with your seafood?

Morehead is right on the sound. Ocean, barrier island, sound, mainland, river, more mainland. Water, land, water, land, water...you get the picture. We’re on the other side of the river from Morehead, close enough that we cna hear the highschool band practicing if the wind is right.
Milewise, we’re about 3 miles or less from the ocean. Road wise, it’s a good 30 min drive.

I gotta go to bed, too! Enjoyed talking with you! NIght!
