Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked grits, cooked with shrimp stock, milk or water
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves, crushed with salt
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• Dash of cayenne pepper
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 1/2 pound medium shrimp, peeled

Directions

Preheat the broiler.

Season the hot grits to taste with salt and pepper. Heat the butter, oil and garlic in a broiler-proof frying pan. Stir in the parsley, cayenne pepper and lemon juice. Add the shrimp, tossing to coat. Place the pan in the oven and broil 6 inches from the heat, 3 to 5 minutes, turning halfway through cooking, until the shrimp turn pink.

(Alternately, sauté the shrimp over medium heat for 3 minutes, or until they turn pink.)

Divide the grits between 2 plates, put the shrimp on top of them, spoon on the juices and serve. Makes 2 servings.
