CHARLESTON BREAKFAST SHRIMP 
1 1/2 c. sm. peeled, raw shrimp
2 tbsp. chopped onion
2 tsp. chopped green pepper
3 tbsp. bacon grease
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp. tomato catsup
1 1/2 tbsp. flour
1 c. water or more

Fry onion and green pepper in bacon grease. When onion is golden, add shrimp; turn these several times with onion and pepper. Add enough water to make a sauce, about 1 cup. Do not cover shrimp with water or your sauce will be tasteless. Simmer 2 or 3 minutes and thicken with flour and a little water made into a paste. Add seasoning, Worcestershire sauce and catsup. Cook slowly until sauce thickens. Serve over baked speckled grits.

Serves 4.
