Cooking shrimp and cheese grits...
Comments (27)Here's another take on cornmeal, grits and hominy grits. Cornmeal = ground corn. Grits = corn ground a little courser than cornmeal and cooked like cornmeal mush. Hominy grits = ground hominy cooked like cornmeal mush. Confusingly, hominy grits are often (usually?) referred to simply "grits". If that isn't confusing enough, there is also corn flour, masa harina (hominy ground fine as flour), fresh masa, polenta, etc. There is much debate (not just here) over the meaning of the names and the correct or tastiest way to prepare each of these. I have my own strong preferences and am still experimenting and learning. Feel free to correct me. Can we at least agree that it's all corn? Jim...See MoreShrimp and grits
Comments (6)For comparison, here' Paula Deen's that you serve over the grits. Shrimp and Grits Recipe �1 cup stone-ground grits �Salt and pepper �1/4 cup butter �2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese �1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined, left whole if small and roughly chopped if medium or large �6 slices bacon, chopped into tiny pieces �4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice �2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley �1 cup thinly sliced green onions, white and green parts �1 large garlic clove, minced 1. To make the shrimp and grits recipe, bring 4 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the grits and salt and pepper to taste. Stir well with a whisk. Reduce the heat to the lowest possible setting and cook the grits until all the water is absorbed, about 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter and cheese. Keep covered until ready to serve. 2. Rinse the shrimp and pat dry. Fry the bacon in a large skillet until browned and crisp, then drain on a paper towel. Add the shrimp to the bacon grease in the skillet and saute over medium heat just until they turn pink, about 3 minutes. Do not overcook! Immediately add the lemon juice, parsley, green onions, and garlic. Remove the skillet from the heat. 3. Pour the grits into a serving bowl. Pour the shrimp mixture over the grits. Garnish with the bacon bits. Note: I had this at a bridal luncheon. It was pretty, but I prefer mine to this one....See MoreIf you like GRITS, then you need to try this.
Comments (9)oh Glenda, where are you. Girl this was a wonderful recipe. We had it for brunch today and had several friends over. I doubled the recipe, could have tripled it. Nothing left over.

Comments (46)I was married for 15 years before my daughter was born. Once I became a mother, I tried to be a "super mom" and do everything I thought a mom should do. That included baking cookies. Odd because I didn't raise her eating a lot of sweets, and she wasn't (and still isn't) big on eating sugar. But, I liked homemade cookies and like everything else I do (all or nothing), I took to it in a BIG way. I had never liked store bought cookies particularly, and when baking, if the recipe called for margarine, instead of butter, then I wouldn't even try the recipe because I felt like their standards didn't measure up to mine. Cookie snob. ;) I baked cookies and if they were really good, I added them to my permanent recipe files. I used to make cookie platters for my friends and neighbors at Christmas. Since I live in a super humid climate, and didn't have central heat, which might have helped take the humidity out of the house....always lived in very old houses...candy recipes could be difficult. But divinity seemed like it belonged at Christmas, but when I made it, it was more apt to be like marshmallow whip. This recipe is a meringue type cookie, but a little bit like divinity. (I said "a little bit"). I got it in one of those Better Homes and Gardens Christmas Cookie magazines that come out this time of year. Somehow or another, I lost the recipe, and I couldn't remember which magazine it was in, and over the years, some of the magazines had been tossed when I cleaned house. I searched for it on line for a long time, and decided I'd finally have to go on line and try to find the magazine, and buy it, but not knowing what year, I still couldn't be sure. One day I searched for it, and it came up! I am sure this is much to do about very little to most people, but I was really happy to find it again. Black Walnut Drops (I find black walnuts at Kroger.) 2 egg whites 2/3 c. sugar 1 c. finely chopped black walnuts 2 tbsp. flour In a small mixer bowl beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, beating until stiff. Toss the black walnuts with flour; fold into egg whites. Drop the meringue by rounded teaspoons onto prepared cookie sheet. Bake 10 to 12 minutes at 325 degrees until edges start to brown....See Morecooper8828
