Some Shrimp-n-Grits

[cowgirl]

Just got back from a week of visiting friends in Texas. One of my bestest friends made shrimp and grits while I was there. They were so tasty I had to make it when I got home.
This is the recipe http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Old-Cha...e7=Home%20Page

Brought home some nice gulf shrimp... I shelled, deveined and butterflied them. Seasoned with salt, cayenne and fresh lemon juice.

Sorry the photos aren't the best. I was in a hurry.

fried the bacon..

fried andouille sausage too.

cooked the peppers, onions and garlic in bacon drippings...

simmered the grits then added cheese...

since I was in such a hurry, I used the little table top gas grill...flattened the shrimp for quick cooking.

topped the shrimp with a foiled pan to keep them from curling..

they didn't take long at all!

sprinkled the shrimp with some Cajun seasoning...

Combined the veggies, andouille, chicken stock, roux, crisp bacon and shrimp.

The shrimp and smoked sausage in "gravy"...

The shrimp-n-andouille on cheesy grits...

Really liked the recipe, will make it again for sure.


Thanks for looking!

Thanks so much for the kind comments everybody!!
:laugh: Love you too Garrett! :biggrin::hug:

One thing I will change next time I cook this is use smaller shrimp. These were great but I had to cut them up while eating so I could get a bite of shrimp in each spoonful. :-D
