SHRIMP AND CHEDDAR GRITS

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 bay leaf
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 cup old-fashioned grits (not instant or quick-cooking)
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1/2 cup grated sharp white cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 links fully cooked andouille sausage (about 6 ounces total), cut into 1/2-inch pieces
4 scallions, chopped (white and green parts separated)
2 stalks celery, chopped, plus 1/4 cup leaves
1 small red bell pepper, chopped
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
Kosher salt
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, plus more if needed
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Make the grits: Combine 4 cups water, the bay leaf, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, then gradually add the grits, whisking constantly. Reduce the heat to medium low and cook, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until tender, about 20 minutes. Discard the bay leaf. Stir in the heavy cream, butter and cheese. Remove from the heat; cover to keep warm. If the grits seem too thick, thin with water, 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time.
  • Meanwhile, make the shrimp: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook, stirring, until browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the scallion whites, chopped celery and bell pepper and cook, stirring, until just starting to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the shrimp and season with salt. Cook, stirring, until the shrimp are almost cooked through, about 3 minutes.
  • Push the shrimp and vegetables to the edge of the skillet. Add the garlic, thyme and tomato paste to the center and cook, undisturbed, until sizzling, 1 minute. Add 1/2 cup water, the lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce and stir everything together. Bring to a simmer and cook until the shrimp are just cooked through and the sauce is slightly reduced, 3 minutes. Add the butter and swirl the pan until melted. Add the parsley, scallion greens and celery leaves and toss. Season with salt. Add more lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon at a time, if needed.
  • Divide the grits among 4 shallow bowls. Top with the shrimp mixture.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups unsalted chicken stock
1 cup quick-cooking grits
1 cup heavy cream
1 stick unsalted butter
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup roasted corn kernels
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3 teaspoons cajun seasoning
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ lb andouille sausage, diced
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1 tablespoon shallot, minced

Steps:

  • Make the grits: Bring the chicken stock to a boil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the grits and cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has been completely absorbed, about 6 minutes.
  • Whisk in the cream, butter, and cheddar cheese until melted and fully incorporated. Stir in the corn, salt, and Cajun seasoning. Remove the pot from the heat and cover to keep the grits warm while you make the shrimp.

Tips:

- Prep Ahead: Save time by deveining and peeling the shrimp in advance. You can also chop the vegetables and measure out the ingredients before you start cooking. - Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh shrimp, vegetables, and herbs will give your dish the best flavor. If possible, buy organic ingredients to avoid pesticides and herbicides. - Don't Overcook the Shrimp: Shrimp cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked shrimp will become tough and rubbery. - Make Sure the Grits Are Creamy: The grits should be creamy and smooth, not too thick or too thin. If the grits are too thick, add more milk or water. If they are too thin, cook them for a few minutes longer. - Season to Taste: Be sure to taste the dish before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs to taste.
