by: Ted and JimServings: 8 | Prep time: 30 minutes | Total time: 90 minutesFor 9” Pie, 10” Pie or Deep Dish Ingredients: 2 cups sugar ½ cup butter 5 eggs 1 cup milk 1 TBSP. flour 1 TBSP. Marsh Hen Mill’s Yellow Cornmeal ¼ cup fresh lemon juice Grated rind of 3 large lemons 1 unbaked 9 inch pie shell 3 cups sugar ¾ cup butter 8 eggs 1 ½ cup milk 1 ½ TBSP flour 1 ½ TBSP. Marsh Hen Mill’s Yellow Cornmeal 3 oz. fresh lemon juice Grated rind of 4 large lemons 1 unbaked 10 inch pie shell Directions Preheat oven to 350 degrees with rack in the top third of the oven. Cream sugar and butter, add eggs and milk, beat well. Then add flour, cornmeal, lemon juice and grated lemon rind. Don’t be surprised when the lemon juice makes the mixture look curdled. It will be fine when it bakes. Pour mixture in the pan, baking at 350 until done, 45 minutes to 1 hour. It should be only slightly jiggly in the middle and a knife inserted should come out clean. Remove from oven and cool on rack. This can be served when slightly warm but is best when it has time to cool. This can be made in advance.

Allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving. This recipe is versatile. The flour to cornmeal ratio can be 50/50 or you can go with all cornmeal if you want. Sweet or unsweet? That's also up to you. Double up the ingredients and you have enough batter for a 10 inch skillet.

By: Jim Tarleton Ingredients 8 Cups Heavy Cream (or half and half) 5 oz unsalted butter 1 TBS crushed/chopped fresh garlic (or 1 tsp garlic paste) ¼ Tsp salt ¼ Tsp vegetable seasoning (like “Perfect Pinch” garlic & herb) 1 Cup Marsh Hen Mill stoneground grits 1 Cup NY White Cheddar Cheese (grated) ½ Cup Extra-Sharp cheddar Cheese (grated) ¼ Cup Asiago Cheese For the Shrimp 2-3 lbs large shrimp (peeled and deveined) 1 Cup Hot Sauce (I prefer using Texas Pete – Tabasco is hotter) 2 Cups flour ½ Cup cornstarch 1 TBS seafood magic blend, Old Bay or any homemade seafood spice mix 1 TBS ground black pepper 2 Tsp cayenne pepper 1-2 Tsp Paprika (optional for color) Canola or vegetable oil (enough for frying) For the Mushroom Sauce ½ Lb (or more) white mushrooms (sliced thin) 2 TBS unsalted butter 8 oz Tasso ham (substitute any unsmoked ham) diced and sautéed 1 finely diced jalapeño pepper (deseeded) ½+ cup (or more) white wine (Chardonnay works well) Directions Grits Bring cream to a gentle boil in large saucepan. Add butter, garlic, salt, vegetable seasoning, grits. Cook until grits are creamy (30+ min), then add cheese (a little at a time) until thoroughly incorporated and continue to cook until grits are done (about 15 more min). Shrimp Marinate shrimp in the hot sauce for about 10-15 minutes. In a bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, seafood spice mix, black and cayenne pepper, salt, paprika (use paprika for color and also for taste). Dredge shrimp in mixture, shake off excess and pan fry in small batches about 2-3 minutes until golden. Set aside to drain (keep warm). Mushroom Sauce – Sauté jalapeño then mushrooms in butter until softened. Add diced ham and cook another 2 minutes. Add wine and reduce until sauce thickens. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Assembly  Ladle grits into serving dish/large bowl. Spoon mushroom sauce mixture onto grits. Place generous amount of shrimp on top. Scatter chopped, green onions for garnish. Serve immediately while hot. Amount(s) can be adjusted accordingly for quantity and individual taste. Grits need to be “creamy”, not just cooked. I like to lean a little heavy on the Asiago cheese in the grits.
