SHRIMP AND GRITS (BOBBY FLAY) RECIPE

Provided by รก-49759

Number Of Ingredients 22

Grits:
2 cups water
2 chicken bouillon cubes (recommended: Knorr)
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 cup quick grits (recommended: Quaker)
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
3 1/2 ounces extra-sharp Cheddar
Sauce:
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 tablespoon minced garlic
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup chicken stock
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce (recommended: Texas Pete)
3 slices bacon - cooked and crumbled
Shrimp:
1 1/2 pounds (26-30 count) Wild Georgia Shrimp
2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning (recommended: Tone's Louisiana Cajun seasoning)
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • First, peel and devein the shrimp. In a small bowl, combine Cajun seasoning, paprika, Italian seasoning and salt and pepper, to taste. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the shrimp to coat well and set the shrimp aside. In a medium saucepan, bring water, chicken bouillon cubes and 2 tablespoons butter to a boil. Slowly add the grits, whisking often with wire whisk for 5 minutes. Add tomato paste, cream, and cheese. Keep whisking for another 2 or 3 minutes until the grits become creamy. Keep whisking for another 2 or 3 minutes until the grits become creamy. Now saute the shrimp. In a large saute pan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add minced garlic and stir for 30 seconds. Add in the spice-coated shrimp, and cook only until they're just done and tender. Don't overcook. Remove the shrimp from the saute pan and set them aside in a bowl. The roux is next. With all those wonderful drippings from the shrimp in the saute pan, add 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and stir with a wooden spatula to make a roux. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes until roux reaches a medium-tan color, then slowly add the chicken stock and heavy whipping cream. Whisk together and cook for 2 minutes, then whisk in Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce. Set aside. To serve, and this is the best part-place a few heaping spoonfuls of steaming cheese grits onto a plate, top with several sizzling shrimp. Drizzle that wonderful roux sauce over top of the shrimp, and sprinkle on bacon.

Tips:

  • Use fresh shrimp. Fresh shrimp have a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen shrimp. If you're using frozen shrimp, thaw them in the refrigerator overnight or in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Cook the shrimp properly. Shrimp should be cooked until they are opaque and pink. Overcooked shrimp are tough and rubbery.
  • Use good-quality grits. Grits are made from dried cornmeal, and the quality of the cornmeal will affect the flavor of the grits. Look for grits that are made from stone-ground cornmeal, which has a more flavorful and complex flavor than grits made from regular cornmeal.
  • Cook the grits slowly. Grits need to be cooked slowly in order to develop their full flavor. Bring the grits to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20-30 minutes, or until the grits are tender.
  • Season the grits well. Grits can be seasoned with a variety of ingredients, such as salt, pepper, butter, cheese, and herbs. Experiment with different seasonings to find the combination that you like best.
  • Serve the shrimp and grits immediately. Shrimp and grits are best served immediately after they are cooked. The grits will start to thicken as they cool, so if you need to keep them warm, transfer them to a slow cooker or chafing dish.

Conclusion:

Shrimp and grits is a classic Southern dish that is enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a simple dish to make, but it is full of flavor. The combination of shrimp, grits, and cheese is simply irresistible. If you have never tried shrimp and grits, I encourage you to give it a try. You won't be disappointed.
