“This is just an old Southern stick-to-your-ribs dinner combining fresh shrimp, a medley of peppers, onion and creamy cheese grits. It’s great served with corn bread and sliced tomatoes.” —Melissa Birdsong, Gilbert, South Carolina
Ingredients:
2-1/2 cups chicken broth
1 cup quick-cooking grits
1 medium onion, sliced
1 package (14 ounces) frozen pepper strips, thawed
4 teaspoons olive oil
3/4 pound uncooked large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, bring broth to a boil. Slowly stir in grits. Reduce heat; cook and stir for 5-7 minutes or until thickened.
2. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, saute onion and pepper strips in oil until crisp-tender. Add the shrimp, parsley and lemon juice; saute 3-4 minutes longer or until shrimp turn pink.
3. Stir cheese and sour cream into grits; serve with shrimp mixture. Yield: 4 servings.
