Shrimp and Grits(requested by feoninfunroe):


Well, I'm not very good with measurements.

I can tell you the ingredients, but not the exact measurements

If you're cooking for 2, I would use probably a little over half of a stick of butter. Just sauté some onion in the butter for a few mins, then add you seasoned shrimp(paprika, cayenne, garlic powder,salt, and sprinkle a little flour over them) it will basically be like blackened shrimp. Cook for a couple mins on each side, then add some chopped mushrooms. After that, add some cream. You'll just have to eyeball it. I don't know how much:shrug: Pour over the grits and serve.


As for the grits, just read the direction on how to cook them on the box ,sack, or whatever you get them in. I just added extra sharp yellow cheddar, and sharp white cheddar. I used the cracker barrel Kraft brand, that comes in cracker slices. That's all that I could find. Per one serving of grits, use three of the slices (I used two white, one yellow). I don't know how much grated you would have to use, though:shrug: After that, I just put some hot sauce in them. That's it.

This recipe begs maybe for some heavy cream. It sounds like you had trouble thickening it up sans the grits.

It looked good, though. :9:
