       Low Country Shrimp and Grits
       Ingredients
       1/2 pound raw shrimp, peeled
       2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
       Salt to taste
       Cayenne pepper to taste
       3 Tablespoons bacon grease
       1 small onion, finely chopped (about 1/4 cup)
       1/4 cup bell pepper, finely chopped
       2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
       1/2 to 3/4 cup hot water or stock* (chicken, vegetable, or
       shrimp)
       Grits (serving for 2 - 4)
       In a bowl, sprinkle the shrimp with lemon juice, salt, and
       cayenne pepper. Set aside. Heat the bacon grease in a skillet
       and saute the onion and pepper over medium heat until onions
       become transparent. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and
       stir constantly, until the flour begins to brown. Add the shrimp
       with a little of the juice and about 3/4 cup water or stock,
       stirring constantly and turning shrimp so they cook evenly. Cook
       for 2 to 3 minutes until the shrimp are done and the gravy is
       uniformly smooth, thinning with a little extra liquid if
       necessary.
       Cook grits according to package directions. I recommend cooking
       the grits in any leftover broth and adding a small amount of
       heavy cream to them just before serving.
