BOBBY FLAY'S GULF SHRIMP AND GRITS



Bobby Flay's Gulf Shrimp and Grits image

Categories     Side     Shrimp     Boil

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 cups shrimp stock (see page 180), or more if needed
Kosher salt
1 cup stone-ground yellow cornmeal
8 ounces thick-cut double-smoked bacon, cut into 1-inch-long matchsticks
20 large (21- to 24-count) shrimp, shelled and deveined
Freshly ground black pepper
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
1 1/2 cups (6 ounces) grated white cheddar cheese
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 green onions (green parts only), thinly sliced, for garnish

Steps:

  • Bring the shrimp stock and 2 teaspoons salt to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Slowly whisk in the cornmeal and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, whisking every few minutes, until the grits are soft and have lost their gritty texture, 25 to 30 minutes. If the mixture becomes too thick, add a little more stock.
  • Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a medium skillet over medium heat until it is golden brown and crisp and the fat has rendered, about 8 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon to a plate lined with paper towels.
  • Remove all but 3 tablespoons of the bacon fat from the skillet, and return it to high heat. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Add the shrimp, garlic, and thyme, in batches, if necessary, to the skillet and sauté until the shrimp are light golden brown on both sides and just cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove the shrimp to a plate. Reserve the garlic oil left in the skillet.
  • Stir the cheese and heavy cream into the cooked grits, and whisk until smooth; season with salt and pepper.
  • Divide the grits among 4 bowls, and top each with 5 shrimp. Drizzle with some of the garlic oil from the skillet, and sprinkle with the green onions.

Tips:

  • Use fresh shrimp. Frozen shrimp can work in a pinch, but fresh shrimp will give your dish the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cooks quickly, so it's important to watch it carefully to avoid overcooking. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
  • Use creamy, flavorful grits. Quick-cooking grits are a good option for this recipe, but you can also use old-fashioned grits if you have the time. Just be sure to cook the grits according to the package directions.
  • Add some spice. If you like your food spicy, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the grits. You can also add some chopped jalapeños or serrano peppers.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs. Chopped parsley, chives, or green onions will add a fresh, vibrant flavor to your dish.

Conclusion:

Bubba's shrimp and grits is a classic Southern dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its creamy grits, tender shrimp, and flavorful sauce, this dish is sure to become a favorite in your household.
