osodecanelaNot quite.
Had a bag of cooked shrimp 41-50 count I needed to use tonight. I'd left it in the fridge to defrost night before last, thinking I'd cook last night, but with mom's surgery & all the calls I had to make after it was over, I was too wiped out to cook. I'm simply not willing to waste shrimp & let them go bad. Walking into the house at 9:45 at night be damned.
30 minutes later, shrimp & grits reinterpreted.
I've written before about the quick cook steel cut oats from Bob's Red Mill. A chopped red onion went down into a skillet with a tbsp of coconut oil with a cup of chopped trumpet mushrooms added as the onion turned translucent. A cup of the oats went in followed by 2.5 cups of chicken broth added a cup at a time constantly stirring, ala risotto. After the second cup, 3 oz of shredded brie got stirred in along with the shrimp and some sriracha and finally the last of the broth.
My husband asked for thirds.
