Source:
| 1 cup (1/2 pound) | peeled shrimp |
| 2 tablespoons | fresh lemon juice |
| salt | |
| cayenne pepper to taste | |
| 3 tablespoons | bacon grease |
| 1 small | onion, finely chopped, (about 1/4 cup) |
| about 1/4 cup | finely chopped green bell pepper |
| 2 tablespoons | all-purpose flour |
| Creamy Grits | |
| 3/4 to 1 cup | hot water or stock, (shrimp, chicken, or vegetable) |
In a bowl, sprinkle the shrimp with lemon juice, salt, and cayenne and set aside. Heat the bacon grease in a skillet and sauté the onion and pepper over medium heat until the onion begin to become transparent, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over the flour vegetables and stir instantly for about 2 minutes, until the flour begins to brown. Add the shrimp and about 3/4 cup water or stock, stirring constantly and turning the shrimp so that they cook evenly. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, until the shrimp are cooked through and the gravy is uniformly smooth, thinning with a little extra water or stock if necessary. Serve immediately over grits.
