This is NOT the same as the slow-cooked-all day miracle that is shrimp and grits. But it was pretty tasty.
The 20 minute time was accomplished by:
1. using already slow-cooked grits in a package from my beloved Trader Joes:
2. using frozen already cut peppers and onions from BJ's:
3. Microwaving things.
4. Using thawed already cooked shrimp (bought on sale, of course!):
5. Using marmalade from a jar. (ok, if you factor in the time MAKING marmalade, this would be 500 minute shrimp and grits. But that was back in March. It doesn't count).
Microwave the frozen onions and peppers until they are cooked. Meanwhile pull the tails off the shrimp and set aside. Open the tube of cooked grits, and pour into a bowl. The grits go into the microwave after the onions and peppers.
In a pot, pour about a cup of white wine, 1/2 pint of marmalade, cajun seasoning (a tablespoon?), a tablespoon or two of molasses, and bring to a boil, then immediately turn down. Add pepper/onion mixture and keep stirring occasionally.
Shred some cheddar cheese, and mix into the grits.
Add the shrimp at the last second - just long enough to warm the shrimp all the way through.

I, too, always cook delicious food when I'm feeling under the weather. First thing I do! :P

I hate shrimp but I'd try it since your food usually tastes so darn good! However, I suppose I'll have to pass because you live your friends alive, not dead. :)
