Quick Cook Shrimp and Grits

Preheat the broiler.

Season the hot grits to taste with salt and pepper. Heat the butter, oil and garlic in a broiler-proof frying pan. Stir in the parsley, cayenne pepper and lemon juice. Add the shrimp, tossing to coat. Place the pan in the oven and broil 6 inches from the heat, 3 to 5 minutes, turning halfway through cooking, until the shrimp turn pink.

(Alternately, sauté the shrimp over medium heat for 3 minutes, or until they turn pink.)

Divide the grits between 2 plates, put the shrimp on top of them, spoon on the juices and serve. Makes 2 servings.
