Spicy Shrimp and Grits, Serves 6

Ingredients:

1 pound bacon, diced

2 pounds shrimp, peeled and deveined

olive oil

2 tablespoons chili powder

2 tablespoons paprika

1 tablespoon cayenne

1 tablespoon thyme

1 yellow onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, chopped

1 cup cooking sherry (or any red wine you enjoy)

1 cup shredded gouda cheese

2–3 cups grits, prepared according to package instructions

Directions:

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook bacon until crispy. When bacon is done, remove and set aside. Leave 3 tablespoons rendered fat in pan.

While bacon is cooking, in a large bowl, coat shrimp with olive oil. Add chili powder, paprika, cayenne, and thyme and combine to fully coat shrimp with seasonings.
