1/2 lb. of smoked bacon
3 lbs. of shrimp
1 cup of minced onion
a minced clove of garlic
salt and pepper
steamed rice
Chop about 1/2 lb. of smoked bacon and fry it over a low fire. Shell and clean about 3 lbs. of shrimp; if they are large ones, chop them. Skim out the meat scraps and reserve. In the fat in the skillet, brown the raw shrimp; then add meat scraps, 1 cup of minced onion, a minced clove of garlic, salt and pepper. Cover the skillet tightly; put over the very lowest heat and simmer for an hour or more. Serve with that old shrimp stand by plenty of steamed rice.
