By KennyB07

Ingredients

• Shrimp and grits
• 1 pound of peeled and deveined, medium
• Shrimp
• 1 onion, chopped.
• 1/2 stick of butter
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Four servings of grits, cooked in milk, instead of water. Add more milk after cooking, to make grits pourable
• 4 slices of country ham

Preparation

Step 1

Fry ham until brown. Melt butter in ham drippings, add onions and cook until they are transparent. Add a little flour, to thicken into a sauce. Add shrimp and cook until pink. Add a little milk or chicken broth if sauce gets too thick. Salt and pepper or Old Bay, to taste.
Place a slice of ham on a dinner plate, top with grits, finish off with shrimp and sauce.
Best served with black eyed peas, turnip greens and sweet corn bread.
This is a low country recipe I learned about, while visiting Charleston.
