Categories     main-dish

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 26

2 1/2 cups cream
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
2 to 3 tablespoons hot sauce
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 1/2 cups grits, such as Logan Turnpike stone-ground grits
1/4 cup onion powder
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 stick butter
8 ounces butter
1 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons smoked paprika
1 tablespoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon crushed chipotle pepper
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 clove garlic, crushed
1/2 stick butter
1 cup freshly cut corn kernels
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary needles, finely chopped
1 tablespoon sugar, plus more if needed
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
20 large (size 16-20) shrimp, peeled and deveined with tail on
4 slices lemon, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the grits: Combine 4 cups water, the cream, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce and salt, and bring to a boil. In a medium bowl combine the grits, onion powder, garlic powder and pepper. Add the dry ingredients to the boiling liquid, whisking vigorously. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook for 45 minutes. Whisk regularly, every 3 to 5 minutes, so the grits do not stick and burn.
  • Remove from the heat and add the butter, whisking until it's completely incorporated into the grits.
  • For the BBQ sauce: Combine the oil and butter and melt over medium heat. Add the paprika, rosemary, oregano, salt, black pepper and chipotle, and bring to simmer for 15 minutes. Add the garlic and simmer 5 minutes, not letting the garlic brown. Remove from the heat and add the lemon juice. Strain and discard the solids (they will burn if you cook the shrimp with them).
  • For the corn: Melt the butter in a medium saute pan and add the corn. Add the sugar and some salt and pepper and cook until the corn is bright yellow and just cooked through.
  • Pour the BBQ sauce in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan and add the shrimp. Cook, stirring regularly until firm to the touch, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Divide the grits among four serving bowls and add 5 shrimp per bowl. Drizzle some BBQ sauce over the grits and sprinkle some corn on top. Garnish each bowl with a slice of lemon and then serve.

Southern-style grits take on mouthwatering Asian flavors in this one-of-a-kind recipe from chef David Chang's "Momofuku" cookbook -- serve for a special brunch or equally satisfying dinner dish. Photo credit: Gabriele Stabile

Provided by Martha Stewart

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups white or yellow quick-cooking grits
2 cups Bacon Dashi
2 tablespoons usukuchi (light soy sauce)
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1/2 pound smoky bacon, cut crosswise into 1-to-1 1/2-inch-long strips
1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
4 Slow-Poached Eggs
1/2 cup chopped scallions

Steps:

  • Place grits in a medium bowl and add 2 cups water. Let grits soak at least 8 hours and up to overnight.
  • Drain grits and transfer to a medium saucepan. Add dashi and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cook, whisking constantly, for 5 minutes. Add usukuchi, a large pinch of salt, and season with pepper. Continue whisking constantly until thickened, bubbling, and no longer grainy, about 10 minutes. Stir in butter until melted; season with salt and pepper. Set aside and keep warm.
  • Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add bacon and cook, stirring occasionally until it shrinks to about half its original size and is crisp and browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove bacon from skillet using a slotted spoon and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Drain fat and wipe skillet clean; set aside.
  • Place shrimp in a large bowl and add grapeseed oil; season with salt and toss to coat. Heat cast-iron skillet over high heat and add shrimp, working in batches if necessary. Press down on shrimp using the back of a spatula or a smaller pan to sear for 1 to 2 minutes. When shrimp look about halfway cooked, turn and press down on second side. Continue cooking until shrimp have just become opaque and have browned slightly. Remove from pan.
  • Divide grits evenly between 4 bowls; top each with a poached egg. Divide shrimp and scallions evenly between bowls and serve immediately.

Categories     Breakfast     Bacon     Cheddar     Cheese     Egg     Chile     Chard     Bon Appétit     Sugar Conscious     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 large eggs, room temperature
Kosher salt
1 cup white grits (not instant)
4 ounces bacon, coarsely chopped
1 Fresno or other red chile, thinly sliced into rings
1 tablespoon Sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
1 large shallot, finely chopped
8 cups torn Swiss chard leaves (from 1 large bunch)
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 ounces cheddar, coarsely grated

Steps:

  • Bring 4 1/2 cups water to a gentle simmer in a medium saucepan. Crack an egg into a small bowl, then gently slide egg into water. Repeat with remaining eggs, waiting until whites are opaque before adding the next one (about 30 seconds apart). Poach until whites are set but yolks are still runny, about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer eggs to paper towels as they are done; set aside.
  • Fish out any wispy pieces of cooked egg with slotted spoon; discard. Bring same saucepan of water to a boil and add a couple pinches of salt. Whisking constantly, gradually add grits. Reduce heat to low, cover saucepan, and cook grits, whisking occasionally and scraping bottom to prevent sticking, until tender, thick, and creamy, 25-40 minutes, depending on coarseness.
  • Meanwhile, cook bacon in a medium skillet over medium-low heat, stirring often, until bacon is crisp, 8-10 minutes. Transfer bacon to a small bowl with slotted spoon. Combine chile and vinegar in another small bowl.
  • Pour off all but 2 Tbsp. fat from skillet; cook shallot, stirring often, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add chard in batches, letting it wilt slightly before adding more, and cook, tossing, until completely wilted, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and season with salt, pepper, and some chile-soaking vinegar.
  • Remove grits from heat and season with salt and lots of pepper. Add butter, then gradually add cheese, whisking until melted and combined; thin with a bit more water if too thick.
  • Divide grits among bowls; top with chard, poached eggs, bacon, and chiles. Season eggs with salt and pepper.

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.

The creamy smooth center of a poached egg is very soothing over hot grits.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 teaspoons white vinegar
1 large egg
Creamy Calcium Grits
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Fill a high-sided skillet or a wide saucepan with 3 inches of water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Stir in vinegar. Break egg into a small shallow bowl or cup. Reduce heat to a high simmer. Lower the bowl with egg just to the edge of the simmering water. Quickly empty egg into the bubbling water. Use a spoon to keep egg white together, if needed. Simmer until yolk is just set, about 4 minutes.
  • Remove poached egg with a slotted spoon, and drain it quickly on a paper towel. Place egg over Creamy Calcium Grits. Season with salt and pepper, and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • For the creamiest grits, use heavy cream or whole milk instead of water. You can also add a tablespoon of butter for extra richness.
  • If you don't have Old Bay seasoning, you can use a combination of paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper.
  • To poach the eggs perfectly, bring a pot of water to a simmer and then gently crack the eggs into the water. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny.
  • If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can use any other type of heavy-bottomed skillet. Just make sure to preheat it over medium-high heat before adding the shrimp.
