Due to an overwhelming request, below are some of the recipes from our Cupcakes and Cheer party...
Shrimp and Grits
4 cups water
1 cup instant grits
3 T butter
2 c shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
6 slices bacon, chopped
4 t lemon juice
1/2 c thinly sliced scallions
1 t minced garlic
hot sauce to taste
Cook grits according to directions. Add salt and pepper. Remove from heat and stir in butter and cheese. Rinse shrimp and pat very dry. Fry the bacon in a skillet until browned, drain well. In bacon grease, add shrimp. Cook until shrimp turn pink. Add lemon juice, chopped bacon, green onions and minced garlic and saute for 3 mins. Add shrimp mixture to grits. Add hot sauce to taste. I like to serve these in martini glasses and garnish with a cooked shrimp.
Bobby Dean's Pimento Cheese Spread
6 oz cream cheese, room temperature
2 c grated sharp Cheddar
2 c grated Monterrey jack
1 c mayo
1 t Paula Deen's house seasoning (salt, peeper, garlic powder)
5 T smashed pimentos
1 t grated onion
Cracked black pepper
Using an electric mixer, beat cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Add all of the remaining ingredients and beat until well blended.
I know you still want the homemade meat ball recipe and the spinach cheesecake, but mom made those, so as soon as she gives me her recipes I'll post them...
Happy Cooking!
