I don't think there are many things in this world that make me happier than travel. If an opportunity presents itself to pack my bags and go, I'm all over it. I don't care if I'm going to where I can dig my toes in the sand, feel the crunch of mountain rock under my feet, or even bundle up in heavy winter clothes to feel snowflakes on my cheeks. If it leads me to new adventures, I want to see it all! However, on our most recent trip, we were gone for 10 days. While I wasn't feeling homesick for my couch, bed, or familiar surroundings, I did start to get homesick for my kitchen. I've never been a huge fan of dining out, only going to restaurants for special occasions or for a rare date night out with the hubby, so by day 2 of our trip, I was longing to be back in my own kitchen making my family a home cooked meal. By the end of our vacation, "Where do you want to eat?" were words that just sounded pure evil.

Once we arrived home, I wasted no time making myself tacos, but Allison was all but begging for shrimp. Normally she's a scampi kind of girl, but we had some beer left over from our summer parties that I wanted to use up, and I had been wanting to try my hand at Golden Blossom Honey's Coconut Beer Shrimp recipe, so coconut beer shrimp was served to the rest of the gang. 

I'm not gonna lie, the seasoning is a bit spicy, but paired with the marmalade dressing, you won't even notice the heat. To describe it in Jason's words, "This sauce is kick ass!"
