Shrimp and Grits:


2 lbs shrimp (peeled de veined)

1 sweet onion quartered

1/4 cup melted butter

2 tbsp worcestershire sauce

2 tbsp lemon juice (or juice of one lemon)

1 tbsp Old bay

1 tsp cayenne

1 clove garlic minced

1 tbsp parsley (dried)

2 bay leaves

 Place shrimp in 13 x 9 casserole dish, scatter onion and bay leaves throughout.


In a bowl combine melted butter, worcestershire, lemon, old bay, cayenne, garlic, and parsley.


Pour mixture over shrimp and give it a little toss to coat. Place in oven at 350 for 15-20 minutes.

 Grits:



5 cups milk

1 cup grits

1/2 tsp garlic powder

2 cups cheese

8-ounce cream cheese stick





Bring 5 cups milk and garlic powder to boil. (be careful, the milk will burn if not stirred!) Add grits, stir until thickened. Once thick add cheese and cream cheese. Once everything is melted the grits will be ready. This is so good I could eat just the grits for a meal!
