     1/2  pound         peeled shrimp
   2      tablespoons   fresh lemon juice
                        salt to taste
                        cayenne to taste
   3      tablespoons   bacon grease
   1      small         onion -- finely chopped
     1/4  cup           green pepper -- finely chopped
   2      tablespoons   all-purpose flour
   1      cup           shrimp stock
                        grits
                        fresh hot chile peppers, to taste -- optional
                        tasso -- optional

Preparation:

In a bowl, sprinkle shrimp with lemon juice, salt, and cayenne. Heat grease in a skillet. Sauté onion and peppers until translucent. Sprinkle in the flour and cook until flour browns. Add shrimp and stock. Stir while cooking about 3 minutes. Thin with water if necessary. Serve immediately over grits. The Chile Head version replaces the green pepper with New Mex and sauté a bit of tasso in the grease first.
