RECIPES:
Shrimp & Grits (2 servings):
Quick Pickled Fresnos:
-6 fresno peppers
-1/2 cup white wine vinegar
-1/4 cup sugar
Slice fresnos, taking out seeds if desired. Add fresnos, vinegar, sugar, and pinch of salt in a saucepan. Boil 2 minutes, then pour in jar. Chill 30 minutes.

Grits:
-1 cup white grits (not instant)
-3-4 cup chicken broth
-1/2 stick butter
-1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Bring 3 cups broth to boil. Whisk in grits. Once grits are creamy but still have texture (5-10 minutes) add butter and cheese and stir. Salt to taste. Keep on low until ready to serve, adding more broth if necessary.

Shimp and Sauce:
-cajun seasoning (bought or made: https://therecipecritic.com/cajun-sea...)
-8-10 large shrimp (4-5 per person)
-1 small white onion, diced
-1/2 red bell pepper, diced
-1 clove garlic, minced
-2 strips thick-cut bacon, cut into small cubes
-1/2 cup dry white wine
-1/4 cup chopped parsley
-1/4 stick butter
Peel and devein shrimp. Coat with vegetable oil and season with cajun seasoning. Put bacon in a skillet on medium-low until fat renders out. Transfer to a paper towel, and reserve remaining fat. Turn heat to medium-high, cook shrimp until done 2-3 minutes per side. Set shrimp aside. Add onion and garlic until translucent, then add garlic for 2 minutes. Deglaze pan with white wine. Once wine reduces, add butter, broth if necessary (for more liquid), shrimp, bacon, and parsley. Stir and cook for 1-2 minutes.
