I grew up in South Carolina, here is how I like my shrimp -
first I take the heads off the shrimp, and boil them to make shrimp stock.
second I cook some grits in a pot, using shrimp stock, salt, and just a tiny dash of heavy cream if its handy.
third I throw some sausage, garlic, and mushrooms onto the skillet.. and take those out, put on a plate. then I cook the shrimp on the skillet... 1 minute each side... take them off, put them on a plate.
then I mix that skillet grease with some butter and olive oil, and make a roux. When the roux is almost done, I add bell peppers and onions to it. when the roux is finished, I pour in the shrimp stock, sausage, shrimp, garlic, and the mushrooms.
you serve the grits in bowls, and spoon the roux on top with a ladel
if you have a lot of people, and a lot of shrimp, you make some frogmore stew. We do this several times a year, especially at the beach in the summertime.
you need an outdoor propane cooker, a steamer pot, a basket.
You fill the steamer pot halfway with water, and pour in old bay seasoning and salt.
When it reaches a boil, you throw in the red potatoes, wait 20 minutes.
Then you add kielbasa and boil for 10 minutes.
Then you add your sweet corn, and boil for 5 minutes.
Then you add your shrimp, boil for 1 more minute, and pull the basket out, let the water drain out.
When it has drained, you dump the frogmore stew onto a table, and there you go.
