Savory Shrimp and Grits
For the Grits:
• 1 cup stone-ground grits
• 4 cups water (or chicken stock for extra flavor)
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Shrimp:
1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 tbsp Cajun or Creole seasoning
2 tbsp olive oil or butter
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 bell pepper (red or green), finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup chicken stock
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)
2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Step 1: Cook the Grits
1. In a medium pot, bring water (or chicken stock) to a boil.
2. Slowly stir in the grits and reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for 20-25 minutes, or until thick and creamy.
3. Stir in the heavy cream, butter, and cheddar cheese (if using). Season with salt and pepper. Keep warm.
Step 2: Prepare the Shrimp
1. Season the shrimp with Cajun or Creole seasoning.
2. Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
Step 3: Make the Sauce
1. In the same skillet, sauté the onion and bell pepper until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
2. Stir in the chicken stock, heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
3. Return the shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce.
Step 4: Serve
1. Spoon the creamy grits onto a plate or bowl.
2. Top with the shrimp and sauce.
3. Garnish with sliced green onions and chopped parsley.
