LOW COUNTRY SHRIMP AND GRITS



Low Country Shrimp and Grits image

I made this recipe after reading a number of shrimp & grits recipes, and not finding one that incorporated all the flavors I wanted, made my own. It turned out quite nicely, so I'm sharing. The sauce is light in terms of volume, rather than being like a soup, and has a lot of different flavors packed into it.

Time 45m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

4 cups water
2 cups heavy cream
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
2 cups grits (may be quick grits, but definitely not instant)
1/2 cup butter
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, diced
1 green onion, chopped
1 tomatoes, diced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 lemon, juiced
1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined, with tails still attached
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce (I used Cholula)
1/4 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • For the grits, bring the water and heavy cream to a boil in a medium pot.
  • Whisk in the grits, salt, and pepper.
  • Reduce the heat to medium, place the butter on top of the grits, and cover. Continue cooking for about thirty minutes, stirring frequently.
  • For the shrimp, heat the oil and garlic in a large sauce pan.
  • Saute the onion, green onion, and tomato with salt and pepper over medium heat until the tomato is softened.
  • Add the shrimp and pour the lemon juice, paprika, and parsley over them. Cook thoroughly.

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb small red potatoes, halved
4 pieces frozen mini corn on the cob, thawed, cut in half
2 teaspoons oil
2 teaspoons Old Bay™ seasoning
1 lb uncooked peeled deveined extra-large shrimp (16 to 20 count)
12 oz fully cooked andouille sausage, sliced
1 lemon, cut into 8 wedges
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Heat gas or charcoal grill. Cut 4 (18x12-inch) sheets of heavy-duty foil. Spray with cooking spray.
  • Place potatoes in microwavable bowl. Microwave uncovered on High 5 to 6 minutes or until potatoes are just tender. Add corn to potatoes; drizzle with 1 teaspoon of the oil, and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of the seasoning; mix until evenly coated. Place shrimp in medium bowl; toss with remaining 1 teaspoon oil and remaining 1 teaspoon seasoning; mix until evenly coated.
  • Place equal amount of sausage on center of each sheet of foil. Dividing evenly, arrange potato and corn mixture around sausage. Divide shrimp evenly over sausage. Squeeze 1 wedge of lemon over each pack.
  • Bring up 2 sides of foil so edges meet. Seal edges, making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again, allowing space for heat circulation and expansion. Fold other sides to seal.
  • Place packs on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 6 minutes. Rotate packs 1/2 turn; cook 5 to 7 minutes longer or until shrimp are pink and sausage is heated through. Remove packs from grill, cut large X across top of each pack. Carefully fold back foil; sprinkle with parsley, and top with remaining lemon wedges.
