HUNGRY GERALD

Shrimp and  Grits!! This is one of HG’s favorite dishes. HG first tasted it in New Orleans and became an addict.  This was many years ago when fortunate HG had a public relations client based in “N’Awlins”. Besides giving HG’s client sage counsel, HG indulged in oysters (fried and  raw on the half shell); grillades; rice and beans; “Po Boys”, and many other delights of Cajun and Creole cuisine. BSK has made many dinners of traditional Shrimp and Grits, much to HG’s delight. But, last night son Jeremy made his own version of Shrimp and Grits. The best ever. HG was transported to culinary heaven. SJ’s version had garlic scapes and other diced vegetables plus herbs,spices and a judicious amount of hot sauce. The grits were cooked to a lush soupy texture. (A bowl of firm grits was left for HG. The old guy will have it for lunch adorned with softly scrambled eggs. Thanks, SJ).
