Shrimp 'n' Grits for the Discriminating Housewife
From Alicia Baucom of Greenville, N.C.
Monday, November 13, 2006

Desperate housewives are always on the lookout for great new recipes and here's one! From the nationwide, 'Desperate For Dinner Sweepstakes' here's one of the best recipes from the new cookbook, "The Desperate Housewives Cookbook: Juicy Dishes and Saucy Bits," and the winner of the Good Morning America taste test.

Ingredients

4 servings of grits

1/2 cup fresh ground Parmesan cheese

salt

8 slices of bacon cut into 1-inch pieces

3 tablespoons olive oil

4 fresh minced garlic gloves

1/4 tsp fresh ground pepper

3/4 cup white wine

1 pound raw shrimp, peeled

3 green onions, chopped

Directions

1. Prepare 4 servings of grits according to the box instructions. Add Parmesan cheese, salt to taste, and stir. Keep covered to keep warm.

2. Brown the cut-up bacon in a skillet. Remove the bacon from the pan and save the grease. Add the olive oil, garlic, pepper, and wine to the bacon grease and heat until boiling. Add the shrimp and cover. Let it steam for about two minutes, and check for pinkness. If the shrimp is not pink, continue to cook until pink, and then add the bacon.

3. Spoon the grits into four soup bowls, add shrimp and bacon and evenly distribute the remaining liquid into each bowl. Garnish the top with chopped green onion.

Serves 4.
