I’ve noticed that many people who get to this blog via a search engine are searching for “shrimp and grits”. So, in the interest of satisfying all those searchers, here is Patty’s recipe for shrimp and grits! I’ll add a picture of the finished meal next time we have it here at home.
Do first
Grits:
Make enough for how many people are eating. Add salt to taste (use water to cook grits, not milk).
Optional:
Add 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese to grits while cooking so it will melt
Do second
Shrimp:
In a frying pan, mix:
- 1 clove minced garlic
- 1 TB Tabasco
- 2 TB lemon juice
- 2 TB butter
- 1/2 to 1 lb peeled raw shrimp
Cook 5-10 minutes, but don’t overcook the shrimp.
Optional:
Stir in with shrimp before serving:
- 1/3 cup milk or cream
- 1/3 to 1/2 cup diced ham (not luncheon meat)
- sprinkle of parsley or chopped green onion
Do last
Eat and enjoy!
