Sullivans Island Bacon and Shrimp Bog
- 1/2 pound double-smoked bacon, diced
- 2 medium onions, finely chopped
- 1 1/2 cups long-grain rice, rinsed well and drained
- 2 1/4 cups chicken broth
- 2 medium tomatoes, ripe, peeled, finely chopped, and juice reserved
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 1/2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
- 2 pounds medium fresh shrimp, shelled and deveined
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves, minced
- In a large, heavy pot, fry the bacon over moderate heat till crisp; drain on paper towels and set aside.
- Pour off all but about 3 tablespoons of fat from the pot, add the onions, and stir for 3 minutes.
- Add the rice and stir well.
- Add the broth, tomatoes with their juice, lemon juice, Worcestershire, salt, black pepper, cayenne, and nutmeg, bring to a low simmer, cover, and cook for 20 minutes.
- Stir in the bacon and the shrimp and continue cooking, uncovered, for 10 minutes, adding a little more broth if the rice seems to be drying out in the least (the texture should be almost soupy).
- Stir the bog with a fork, taste for seasoning, sprinkle the parsley on top, and serve immediately.
