Shrimp &Grits w/ Tomato Cream Sauce-review

[chef_Tab]

Last night's dinner was from the Weeknight Menus vol 2 cookbook .....Shrimp and Grits with tomato cream sauce. A definite 12 out of 10 in my opinion. We had another couple over and we all practically licked our plates. I made the tomato sauce ahead of time and tasted it to season and that alone is so amazing. I am shocked there was any left for dinner. The main part is supposed to be kielbasa,onions,peppers, and shrimp. I subbed chirizo. The entire thing is to be served on a bowl of creamy grits but I made cheese grits. I woke up wanting more this morning. One of the best meals I have ever made to date! My only complaint is there could have been more.

Oh shrimp and grits!! That sounds so wonderful! I just looked thru the books I have and don't see the recipe, Theresa.

on the covers:
Bacon-wrapped Cider Pork Steaks
half a chicken with roasted tato and asparagus
and the cover for Cuisine tonight: tortilla chip chicken

One of those? I remember when Billy (and Tracie) were at out house (the barn) in California, we made Shrimp and Grits that were so good, we were all just groaning over them. I sent what little was left over home with Billy and Roy had a fit when he found out. I don't think I've made them since.

The cover has Chicken Francese with sauteed asparagus and under weeknight menus it says, 15&30 minute entrees with sides for every night of the week. I will go ahead and type up the recipe in case anyone needs it.

Don't bother, Theresa - I found the thread where Billy posted the recipe.
