BARBECUE SHRIMP AND GRITS



Barbecue Shrimp and Grits image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups heavy cream
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
1 cup grits
1/4 pound bacon, diced
1/2 cup finely diced red onion
1/2 cup diced green bell pepper
1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
1 to 4 tablespoons whiskey, such as Southern Comfort
Two 14-ounce bottles ketchup, such as Heinz
1/2 cup brown sugar
Kosher salt and freshly ground white pepper
1 1/2 pounds large shrimp, peeled, tails removed and deveined
Shredded extra-sharp Cheddar, for serving
Diced scallions, for serving

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.

For our honeymoon, Aaron and I took a road trip down the east coast. We stopped in Charleston, SC and had shrimp grits for the first time. OH MAN! It was SOOOO good. Aaron ordered it as appetizer and we liked it so much he got it as an entree too! Since you can't find shrimp and grits on a menu anywhere in Richmond, VA, Aaron came up with his own recipe and topped it off with BBQ sauce. YUM, YUM, YUM!!!

Tips:

  • Use fresh shrimp. Fresh shrimp have a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen shrimp. If you must use frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.
  • Cook the shrimp properly. Shrimp are cooked through when they turn pink and opaque. Overcooked shrimp are tough and rubbery.
  • Use a flavorful broth. The broth you use to cook the grits will add a lot of flavor to the dish. Use a broth that you love the taste of, such as chicken broth, vegetable broth, or shrimp broth.
  • Add some vegetables. Vegetables add color, flavor, and nutrients to shrimp and grits. Try adding diced bell peppers, onions, celery, or tomatoes.
  • Season the dish to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little heat.
  • Serve immediately. Shrimp and grits are best served hot and fresh. If you need to make the dish ahead of time, you can cook the shrimp and grits separately and then reheat them just before serving.

Conclusion:

Shrimp and grits is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With a few simple tips, you can make a shrimp and grits dish that is sure to impress your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give shrimp and grits a try!
