Shrimp and grits
-1/2 lb shrimp
-1 small onion
-2 TBL Lemon Juice
-Salt and Pepper (For Grits)
-Tony C’s to taste
-3 TBL butter (I use unsalted)
-1 lb. bacon (GOOD BACON)
-2 TBL Flour
-3/4 Chicken Broth
-Grits (REAL GRITS NOT INSTANT) serving for 2-4
-1/2 cup whole milk (For the Grits)
Cook Bacon, let cool and chop, set aside. Chop your onion and your shrimp. Sauté onion in the butter until done, add lemon juice, shrimp, and Tony C’s and cook until shrimp is transparent (done). You can add a dash of cayenne pepper if you would like a little more spice but it is not necessary. Now Slowly (NOT ALL AT ONCE) chicken broth and flour and stir in and mix a little of each at a time until all is used and you have what looks like a shrimp paste. At some point in the above directions you should have started your grits so they will finish about the same time. Add your shrimp paste and bacon to your finished grits and stir VERY GOOD. Serve topped with cheese (cheddar or a Mexican blend and don’t be skimpy).
Happy Hunting & Happy Cooking!
