A classic Southern staple, this dish can
vary as much from region to region as
barbecue. Heat a large skillet to medi-um
and add bacon. Cook until crisp,
and add fresh raw shrimp. Sprinkle with
Cajun spice and salt. When the shrimp
are almost done, set the mixture aside,
put the skillet back on the heat and
add butter. Mix in green onions, celery,
green pepper and garlic, sauté for four
minutes and then add flour, mixing
until well blended. Add chicken broth,
Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce
and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and
simmer until the sauce thickens, then
set aside. Make the grits as normal,
then return the sauce mix and shrimp to
the stove. Simmer over medium while
blending the shrimp, bacon and sauce,
then serve over grits.

This literally translates to angry shrimp, because it can be spicy. Start
by sautéing shrimp with salt, pepper and olive oil in a heated skillet.
Remove the shrimp, then cook onions, garlic and crushed red pepper in
the same pan. Add basil and tomato sauce, simmer until the flavors are
combined, then add the shrimp back in along with cooked pasta and
simmer for a few more minutes.

Start by creating a marinade of olive oil, cilantro and parsley, garlic,
lemon juice, cayenne pepper, and salt and pepper. Mix in fresh or thawed
shrimp, cover and place in fridge for at least 30 minutes (overnight is
better). Thread skewers through the shrimp, brush more marinade on
each side, and grill for two to three minutes on each side.
