SHRIMP AND GRITS FRITTERS RECIPE - (4.1/5)



Shrimp and Grits Fritters Recipe - (4.1/5) image

Provided by Susan52

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup coarse-ground white grits, uncooked
4 cups water
1/2 tablespoon salt
2 5.2-ounce wheels Boursin herb cheese
1/2 -1 cup shrimp, shelled, deveined, cooked and chopped
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups panko or regular bread crumbs, or more as needed
1 cup milk
2 eggs, beaten
8 ounces vegetable oil

Steps:

  • In a medium pot, cook grits, water and salt, as directed on package. Stir in Boursin cheese and cooked shrimp and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight. Place flour and bread crumbs in separate small bowls. In another small bowl, combine and whisk together milk and eggs to create the egg wash. Using your hands, shape shrimp mixture into 1-ounce balls about the size of a walnut (the mixture will not be firm, so work quickly-once dipped in the coatings, the balls will hold their shape better). Dip balls into egg wash, then into bread crumbs, then into flour. In a deep fryer or heavy pot, heat oil over medium-high heat, then fry fritters until golden brown. Remove from oil with tongs or a slotted spoon. Drain on paper towels. Serve immediately.

SHRIMP AND GRITS



Shrimp and Grits image

Once a popular morning meal throughout the South, shrimp and grits is no longer restricted to breakfast tables below the Mason-Dixon line. Variations of the dish now appear on breakfast, lunch and dinner menus across the country from Maine to Oregon. This recipe is an adaptation of one that Julia Reed discovered at Pearl's Café, a restaurant in landlocked Sewanee, Tenn., that evokes shrimp cardinale, a dish found in New Orleans. It is "a superb version, a highly seasoned, creamy concoction with chunks of tomatoes" that is served over a pile of grits enriched with plenty of butter, salt and Cheddar.

Categories     breakfast, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

3/4 cup grits
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 ounces Cheddar cheese, grated
3 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons butter
3/4 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup diced ripe tomatoes with a little of their juice (chopped canned tomatoes are preferable to less-than-perfect fresh tomatoes)
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon flour
1 pound medium to large raw shrimp, shelled (reserve shells for stock)
1/2 to 1 cup shrimp stock (see note)
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1/3 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 dashes Tabasco
Salt to taste
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • For the grits, bring 3 1/2 cups water to a boil and stir in the grits. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, until the grits are tender and the liquid has been absorbed. Remove from heat, add the salt, cheese and butter and stir until melted. Keep warm.
  • For the shrimp, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté the onion, pepper and garlic until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes and juice and thyme; bring to a simmer. Cook for 2 or 3 minutes. Sprinkle with flour and stir well. Add the shrimp and stir constantly until they begin to turn pink, about 2 minutes. Add 1/2 cup stock and cook for 2 to 3 minutes more. Add the tomato paste and stir until blended. Add the cream, Worcestershire and Tabasco and more stock if needed to make a spoonable sauce that generously coats the shrimp. Heat thoroughly, being careful not to let it come to a boil. Taste for salt.
  • Place a portion of grits in the center of each plate and spoon shrimp over or around it. Sprinkle with parsley.

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups shrimp stock (see page 180)
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce, such as Texas Pete
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 cups shrimp stock (see page 180)
1 1/2 cups quick-cooking (not instant) grits, such as Quaker
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded extra-sharp yellow cheddar cheese
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning, such as Tone's Louisiana-Style
2 teaspoons sweet paprika
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Freshly ground black pepper
1 pound medium-large (26- to 30-count) shrimp, preferably wild Georgia shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 ounces (1/4-inch-thick) sliced sugar-cured country ham, cubed and browned, for serving

Steps:

  • To make the sauce, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, and stir in the flour. Cook, stirring with a wooden spatula, until the roux reaches a medium-tan color, at least 8 minutes. Slowly whisk in the stock and heavy cream. Bring to a boil, whisking, and cook until the sauce has thickened and coats the back of the spoon, about 10 minutes. Whisk in the Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce. Taste for seasoning and keep warm.
  • To cook the grits, combine the butter and stock in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Slowly whisk in the grits and simmer, whisking frequently, for 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste, cream, and cheese. Keep whisking for another 2 to 3 minutes, until the grits become creamy. Keep warm. Season with salt to taste.
  • To cook the shrimp, combine the Cajun seasoning, paprika, Italian seasoning, and pepper to taste in a bowl. Season the shrimp with the seasoning mix. Melt the butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and stir for 30 seconds. Add the shrimp and cook until just cooked through, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer the shrimp to a plate, and stir the pan drippings into the sauce.
  • To serve, place a few heaping spoonfuls of grits onto each plate, top with several sizzling shrimp, drizzle with the sauce, and top with a few cubes of country ham.

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup roasted corn kernels
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3 teaspoons cajun seasoning
2 tablespoons olive oil
