CHEESY CAJUN SHRIMP AND GRITS
I was born and raised in the South. A few years ago I moved to Pennsylvania, where good Southern comfort food was hard to find. So I created these creamy, smoky Cajun shrimp and grits to remind me of home. -Kailey Thompson, Palm Bay, Florida

Tips:
- Choose ripe tomatoes: The riper the tomatoes, the sweeter and more flavorful the ketchup will be.
- Use a variety of tomatoes: Don't be afraid to mix and match different types of tomatoes, such as Roma, heirloom, and cherry tomatoes, to create a complex and flavorful ketchup.
- Roast the tomatoes: Roasting the tomatoes before making the ketchup will intensify their flavor and give the ketchup a smoky depth of flavor.
- Use a good quality vinegar: The vinegar you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the ketchup. Choose a vinegar that is flavorful and has a good acidity, such as apple cider vinegar or white vinegar.
- Add some spices: Spices like garlic, onion, and cayenne pepper can add a lot of flavor to ketchup. Feel free to experiment with different spices to find a combination that you like.
- Don't overcook the ketchup: Overcooking the ketchup can make it thick and syrupy. Cook the ketchup just until it reaches a thick, spreadable consistency.
