When Chemists Attack

Since quite a few people land on this blog while searching for a recipe for shrimp and grits, here’s a repost from Patty’s family cookbook – just in time for Christmas dinner!

Shrimp and grits

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!
