Shrimp and grits, with shrimp, cooked grits, and bacon and tomatoes.

Ingredients:

  • 2 to 3 slices bacon
  • grits, for 4 to 6 people
  • 1 to 1 1/2 pounds shrimp
  • 1 small onion, finely minced
  • 1 can (14.5 ounces) crushed tomatoes with juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper, or to taste

Preparation:

From McGentry

Cook 2-3 slices bacon until done but still tender, set aside. Prepare grits per directions, adding a small finely minced onion before starting cook time, clean shrimp, when grits are almost done, chop shrimp into halfs, crumble up bacon and toss both into grits. Continue cooking until grits are ready. Add crushed tomatoes (juice and all), then add hot pepper.
I serve this with scrambled eggs and hash browns.

"Wonderful recipe but I kicked up a notch by adding chopped green pepper, Old Bay Seafood seasoning and Tabasco sauce. Its the highlight at our family Christmas Brunch."
