Cheese Grits

I truly enjoy all of the regional variations in food. For example, grits. Typically seen on menus in the South. This recipe for grits is from a fellow foodie living in the South, who reports the dish to be "quite good". Top your grits with this BBQ Shrimp.

Ingredients:
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup milk
½ tsp salt
½ tsp pepper
1 cup quick-cooking grits (not instant)
4 oz Gouda cheese, shredded
1 tbsp butter

In a medium sauce pan, combine the broth, milk, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil and slowly add the grits. Lower to simmer, cover, and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Turn off heat and add the cheese and butter. Stir to mix. Serve in large bowls.

BBQ Shrimp

Each time I make this BBQ shrimp I'm reminded how easy it is. Check out those sauce ingredients. Quite a flavorful combination and delicious. When the shrimp is finished cooking, serve it over these cheese grits

Ingredients:
1 lemon, cut into wedges
1 cup butter, melted
1 cup catsup
½ cup Worcestershire sauce
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 bay leaves
3 tablespoons Old Bay seasoning
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 lb large shrimp, deveined, shells on

Heat the oven to 400. In a medium bowl, combine everything except the shrimp. Place the shrimp in a 13" x 9" baking dish and cover it with the BBQ sauce. Bake for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
