Cook the Book: Sullivan's Island Shrimp Bog

In a fine-mesh strainer, rinse the rice well under cold running water.

Drain well; set aside.

In a large heavy Dutch oven or stockpot, cook the bacon over medium heat until golden, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined dish; set aside.

Pour off and discard all but 3 tablespoons of the bacon fat remaining in the pot.

Add the onions to the pot and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes.

Add the drained rice, salt, nutmeg, black pepper, and cayenne and stir for 1 minute.

Stir in the broth, tomatoes with liquid, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a boil, cover the pot, reduce the heat, and simmer gently for 20 minutes. Stir in the cooked bacon and the shrimp and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp is cooked through, adding more broth if the rice seems to be drying out, about 10 minutes. Stir the bog with a fork. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Sprinkle with parsley, garnish with lemon wedges, and serve immediately.
