Mashed Yams w/smoked cheddar, Steamed asparagus And Grill/smoked shrimp marinated in Soy, Honey, Sherry, Mad Hunky, Curry and Chipolte!!!

We start with a few nice large Gulf Shrimp soakin in the joy juice!


Next we got some fresh from Louisiana, Yams, peeled and cut into chunks. Boiling in some H2O, salt, Tiger Sauce and Toasted Sesame oil.


Next we slide the asparagus on a steamer plate, on top of the boiling Yams.


Next we get a(nother) beer. Pic to follow.

The shrimp now gets slid onto the off side of the "grill". You can see the chunk of oak over on the lit side.


And the flip side.


And off the fire. No more than 15 minutes, 18 tops.


The asparagus is ready.


The grated smoked cheddar did not want to be photographed, so if it looks a little goofy, I had to adjust the contrast and brightness quite a bit to get it to show up. Not a white blob.


The mashed yams (already added the butter and buttermilk) get a bit of smoked cheddar.


And we plate it up! With a(nother) beer.


Ohhhhh, lets get a little closer.


It's yummy in my tummy, thanks fer lookin!

for the attention to detail. Water is to cold out west here for nice shrimps like those. Looks darn tasty!

That looks amazing. I couldn't tell you the last time I had shrimp, a lil jealous!
I'd eat a plate, even help with the dishes after!

I guess I can't give you points right now :( I hate the stupid (points) po-po

Just love the way you do presentation
(I'd have doubled up on the number of shrimp though lol)

Never had a yam in me life - so you can have for that lol

Great looking shrimp too !

[Mark R]

CA a yam is real close to a sweet potato, a little sweeter and a softer texture. But not the same plant, or even related.

[ThunderDome]

Wow! That finished plate looks fantastic
