BARBECUE SHRIMP AND GRITS
Steps:
- For the grits: Bring the cream and 2 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the butter, salt and pepper. Slowly add the grits and reduce the heat to medium low. Cook, stirring continuously to keep the grits from getting lumpy and avoid scorching on the bottom of the pan, until the grits are rich, creamy and tender, about 20 minutes. Keep warm until ready to serve, stirring occasionally.
- For the sauce and shrimp: Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until some of the fat has rendered and the bacon has started to crisp and is about three-quarters done, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the onion and peppers and cook, stirring, until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the whiskey and carefully flambe. When the whiskey burns off, add the ketchup and brown sugar and season with salt and pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the shrimp to the sauce and simmer until just cooked through, about 1 minute.
- To serve, put some grits in the middle of 6 shallow bowls, then place the shrimp in a halo around each serving of grits. Top off with some extra sauce and sprinkle with extra-sharp Cheddar and diced scallions.

Tips:
- Select Fresh Shrimp: Use the freshest shrimp available, as it will have the best flavor and texture.
- Properly Devein and Peel Shrimp: Deveining and peeling shrimp removes the digestive tract and shell, resulting in a cleaner and more enjoyable eating experience. If you purchase shrimp that has not been deveined, use a sharp knife to make a shallow incision along the back of the shrimp and remove the vein.
- Use Quality Barbecue Sauce: The barbecue sauce you choose will significantly impact the flavor of your shrimp. Select a sauce that has a balance of sweet, tangy, and smoky flavors.
- Marinate the Shrimp: Marinating the shrimp in the barbecue sauce before cooking helps infuse the shrimp with flavor. Allow the shrimp to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight for maximum flavor.
- Cook Shrimp Properly: Overcooked shrimp can become tough and rubbery. Cook the shrimp just until they turn pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Serve Immediately: Serve the shrimp immediately after cooking to ensure they are at their best flavor and texture.
