LOL I just posted this to my boyfriend stating that we could switch the ham for turkey bacon and then I read the other comment about the bacon. Glad I came across this post. My fiance will be stoked!
Making this tonight and although I believe it is not a big deal....thought I'd mention that the parsley, salt and pepper are not mentioned in the directions. Looking forward to what sounds like a yummy meal.
I am making this for dinner tonight and although I believe I can figure it out with no problem, for future reference the directions do not mention the parsley, salt or pepper. Looking forward to what sounds like a really yummy meal!
Thanks, Terry! You are right, I did leave out the parsley, my apologies! It should be sprinkled on top before serving. The salt and pepper was in the shrimp section and should be sprinkled onto the shrimp when cooking. I have made the edits and I appreciate your feedback!! I hope you enjoy the recipe!
Being a born and bred Southerner, coming from a long line of Southern women...grits are the BOMB :-) Shrimp and grits is one of my favorite dishes, and you're right, there are so many variations! Yours sounds delish!
I always use bacon. I'm a veggie lover so I sautee chopped onion,green peppers and mushrooms in the bacon grease (or replace with olive oil) before stirring in the shrimp. I also thicken mine with a little corn starch/water mixture.
Sounds awesome! We use bacon instead of ham sometimes for a treat.

ReplyDeleteYou could absolutely use bacon!! And it doesn't add that many more cals! Hope your BF (and you!) enjoy it!

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your comment, Mo! I hope it measures up to what I can only imagine would be amazing other variations :)
ReplyDeleteIf you can get it, Tasso is a good alternative to the ham.
ReplyDeleteTasso is an excellent alternative. It has an intense smokey flavor and adds very little fat. I keep it in my freezer for just such dishes as this.
DeleteThankyou for this recipe. It really is divine! The sauce is awesome too. It is very easy and I have made it a few times. My husband loves it!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for coming back to comment! I'm glad that you are enjoying it - messages like this make my day!
DeleteI live in the South and I couldn't find anything but instant grits. xD They'll just have to do...
