Recipe: Simple Supper Shrimp and Grits (serves 2)

SIMPLE SUPPER SHRIMP AND GRITS

2 cups cooked grits
4 tablespoons butter and/or olive oil
1 pound shrimp, peeled
1 medium tomato, chopped
1-2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon julienned fresh basil or parsley (for garnish)

Reheat grits in microwave or over low heat, with additional liquid if necessary.

Melt butter and/or olive oil in saucepan, preferably non-stick. Add shrimp; saute until just before they turn pink.

Add tomato; stir until liquid exudes slightly, just a minute or so.

Add garlic and cook briefly.

Divide grits between two plates, pour shrimp-and-tomato mixture on top, garnish with basil or parsley and serve.
