Low Country Shrimp and Grits image

I made this recipe after reading a number of shrimp & grits recipes, and not finding one that incorporated all the flavors I wanted, made my own. It turned out quite nicely, so I'm sharing. The sauce is light in terms of volume, rather than being like a soup, and has a lot of different flavors packed into it.

Time 45m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

4 cups water
2 cups heavy cream
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
2 cups grits (may be quick grits, but definitely not instant)
1/2 cup butter
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, diced
1 green onion, chopped
1 tomatoes, diced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 lemon, juiced
1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined, with tails still attached
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce (I used Cholula)
1/4 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • For the grits, bring the water and heavy cream to a boil in a medium pot.
  • Whisk in the grits, salt, and pepper.
  • Reduce the heat to medium, place the butter on top of the grits, and cover. Continue cooking for about thirty minutes, stirring frequently.
  • For the shrimp, heat the oil and garlic in a large sauce pan.
  • Saute the onion, green onion, and tomato with salt and pepper over medium heat until the tomato is softened.
  • Add the shrimp and pour the lemon juice, paprika, and parsley over them. Cook thoroughly.
  • Add the heavy cream and hot sauce and simmer for a few minutes, allowing the cream to absorb the flavors. Serve over the grits.

Overall, I thought this recipe was good, but not great. The shrimp were a bit overcooked and the grits were a bit bland.

This recipe is a bit spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper if you don't like spicy food.
