A recipe is likened to a personal expression of poetry/prose... When shared with others, it extends a part of our innermost being... For others to enjoy for years to come, not short lived like a rose. A recipe takes on our individuality and culinary expression, talent and skill... Brings to mind the likes/dislikes of family and friends, memories of special gatherings... Sharing a part of ourselves with others, making memories, spanning time our "appetites" they fill.

Shrimp & Grits
In a 10” cast iron skillet...
Not necessarily a recipe but I browned 4 oz. diced pancetta, removed from skillet, drain.
added seasoned shrimp with Tony Chachare’s Creole seasoning. Sauté a few minutes. Removed from skillet.
Added 2 Tbsp. Butter, 1 shallot, diced, 1 clove garlic minced, sauté 1-2 minutes
Deglaze with 1/2 cup Sauvignon Blanc,
Add 1 Tbsp. Double strength tomato paste,
1/3 - 1/2 cup roasted red peppers chopped,
1/3 cup chopped scallions (green part only)
2 Tbsp. Fresh minced parsley,
fresh cracked pepper &
1/2-1 tsp. Frank’s Hot Sauce.
Simmer 5 minutes, return pancetta & shrimp to skillet and heat through. Serve over Creamy Cheese Grits.
Bring 2 cups milk and 2 cups water to boil. Add 1 cup quick cooking grits, 4 Tbsp. Butter & 1 heaping teaspoon salt.
Cook 15-20 minutes until thickened and creamy. Add more liquid if necessary.
Stir in 1 cup each grated white cheddar & Monterey Jack cheese.
Grits are quick cooking grits cooked slowly in milk, water, butter. Add shredded white cheddar & Monterey Jack.
