...I don't have a favorite recipe per se, but I threw a fabulous brunch the other weekend and the dish that was a hit, and that my guests ate all of and left none for me the poor hostess was Brunch Shrimp:
1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
salt to taste
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper
1/4 cup finely minced onion
1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme (crush it)
3 tablespoons bacon drippings (yeah I know, it's pork fat, but it's GOOOOOOD)
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3/4 cup chicken broth (I prefer no salt added)
Chopped parsley
Combine shrimp, lemon juice salt and red pepper in a small bowl; set aside. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the stir onion and red bell pepper with thyme in bacon drippings for about 5 minutes. Sprinkle flour over vegetables, cook, stirring constantly, about 2 minutes or until flour begins to brown. Add shrimp and chicken broth; cook, stirring constantly, 2 to 3 minutes or until shrimp turn pink and gravy is smooth. Add water or additional chicken broth if gravy is too thick. Serve immediately over grits.
(You may prefer rice if this is for dinner)
How's that?
