    RFC - Mr. Bill

    Recipe Introduction


    8 Servings

    List of Ingredients




    2 lb shrimp
    2 tablespoon Creole seasoning
    16 ground pepper turns
    2 tablespoon olive oil
    1/4 cup onion, chopped
    2 tablespoon garlic, minced
    3 bay leaves
    3 lemons, peeled & sectioned
    2 cup water
    1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
    1/4 cup white wine, dry
    2 cup heavy cream
    2 tablespoon butter

    Recipe



    Peel shrimp and reserve shells. Season the shrimp with Creole
    Seasoning and
    cracked black pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large pot over
    high heat. When the oil is hot, add the onions and garlic and saute
    for one
    minute. Add the reserved shrimp shells, the remaining Creole
    seasoning,
    the bay leaves, lemons, water, Worcestershire, wine, salt and the
    remaining
    8 turns of black pepper. Stir well and bring to a boil. Reduce the
    heat
    and simmer for 30 minutes.

    Remove from the heat, allow to cool for about 15 minutes, and strain
    into a
    small saucepan. There should be about 1 1/2 cups. Place over high
    heat,
    bring to a boil, and cook until thick, syrupy and dark brown about 15
    minutes. Makes about 4 to 5 tablespoons of barbecue sauce base. Heat
    the
    remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over high heat.

    When the oil is hot, add the seasoned shrimp and saute them,
    occasionally
    shaking the skillet, for 2 minutes. Add the cream and all of the
    barbecue
    base. Stir and simmer for 3 minutes. Remove the shrimp to a warm
    platter
    with tongs and whisk the butter into the sauce. Remove from the heat.

    Makes about 2 cups. Spoon the grits in the center of each place. Place
    the
    shrimp around the grits. Spoon the sauce over the shrimp and around
    the
    plate. Garnish with chopped chives.


    Yield: 8 servings
