Spicy Shrimp and Grits

D. Rattray
A delicious version of shrimp and grits, this one is made with tomatoes, green onions, and mushrooms. Serve over savory creamy grits or your favorite cheese grits or grits cakes.

Ingredients:

  • 4 slices bacon, diced
  • 6 to 8 ounces sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1 1/2 pounds shrimp, peeled and cleaned
  • 1/2 cup sliced green onions
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 can (14 1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 teaspoon Creole seasoning
  • dash garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • salt, to taste
  • dash ground cayenne pepper or Tabasco, optional

Preparation:

In a large skillet, cook bacon until cooked but not crisp; add mushrooms. Sauté mushrooms until just tender, adding a little oil or butter if needed; add shrimp and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add green onions and parsley; continue cooking for about 1 minute. Add tomatoes, Creole seasoning, and a dash of garlic powder. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 1 to 2 minutes, or until shrimp is cooked through and liquid has reduced and slightly thickened. Taste and pepper, salt, and cayenne, to taste.
Serves 4.
Serve with Creamy Grits
or Havarti Grits.
