Categories     appetizer

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups whole milk
2 cups water
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 cup grits or coarse ground cornmeal
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 ounces sharp Cheddar, grated
1 pound (31/35 count) shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 ounces bourbon whiskey
1/4 teaspoon hot sauce, optional
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the grits:
  • Bring the milk, water, and salt to a boil in a 4-quart saucepan, set over medium-high heat.
  • While continually whisking, gradually add the grits. Turn the heat to low and cover. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes or until thick and creamy, removing the lid and whisking every 3 to 4 minutes to prevent the grits from sticking or forming lumps.
  • Remove from the heat, add the pepper and butter, and whisk to combine. Once the butter is melted, gradually stir in the cheese. Cover and set aside until the shrimp is ready.
  • For the shrimp:
  • Place a 10-inch non-stick saute pan over medium heat for 2 minutes. Add the shrimp to the pan and toss once or twice. Remove the pan from the heat. Gently pour the whiskey into the pan, carefully ignite with a long match or stick lighter, and return to the heat. Toss continually until the flame extinguishes, approximately 1 to 2 minutes. Saute until the shrimp are cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes more. Season with hot sauce and salt and pepper if desired. Serve over warm grits.

KETO SHRIMP SCAMPI



Keto Shrimp Scampi image

This shrimp scampi is transformed into a keto meal by using shirataki noodles. I like to double the amount of crushed red chiles for an extra kick! This will make 3 lunch-sized portions or 2 dinner-sized portions. Grate some Parmesan cheese on top before serving, if desired.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use large shrimp that are peeled and deveined.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the shrimp. Cook them in batches if necessary.
  • Be careful not to overcook the shrimp. They should be cooked through but still slightly pink in the center.

  • If you don't have any white wine, you can substitute chicken broth or vegetable broth.
  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the scampi sauce for a little bit of heat.
  • Serve the scampi over pasta, rice, or roasted vegetables.
