GRITS:

  • 6 cups water
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 1/2 cups Quick Grits
  • 2 Tablespoons butter
  • 1 roll garlic cheese
  • 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire

     Preheat oven to 350 °. Grease a large saucepan with cooking spray, add water and bring to a boil over high heat. Stir in salt and grits. Lower heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until water is absorbed and grits thicken. Add butter, cheeses and Worcestershire. Cook until cheese melts. Pour in a greased casserole dish and bake for about 20 minutes to set.

SHRIMP:

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 lbs. medium shrimp, peeled
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chopped green onion
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms

  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon basil, thyme & oregano
  • 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
  • Fresh hot French bread
     In a large saucepan, melt butter and oil over medium heat. Add shrimp and saute just until pink. Stir in all other ingredients and seasonings. Simmer about 10 minutes. Mixture will be very saucy. Serve a scoop of grits surrounded with shrimp and sauce. Serve with hot French bread for dipping. (Serves 8)
