Time 1h20m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 cup quick-cooking yellow grits
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
About 1 tablespoon honey, or more as needed
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons mustard seeds
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon oil from a jar of anchovies packed in oil
6 dashes hot sauce
1/2 Fresno chile, seeded and minced, plus 10 to 12 seeds
1 green apple, cored and finely diced
10 stems fresh parsley, finely chopped
6 U-10 shrimp, cleaned and tails on
Kosher salt
Canola oil, for cooking
A few pats unsalted butter
Zest of 1/2 lemon

Steps:

  • For the grits: Cover the grits in a medium pot with about a quart of hot water. Bring to a boil, whisking often, then cook over medium-high heat until tender, 35 to 45 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the honey. When volcanic bubbles appear, turn off the heat. Add the butter and melt, continuing to whisk often. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper and/or honey.
  • For the salsa: Cover the mustard seeds in a small pan with about 1 cup hot water and bring to a boil. Meanwhile, mix the olive oil, vinegar, anchovy oil, hot sauce and Fresno chile in a medium bowl. When very little liquid remains in the pan, add the mustard seeds to the bowl with the oils and vinegar. Add the green apple and parsley. Mix and set aside.
  • For the shrimp: Sprinkle the shrimp with salt. Lightly coat a large skillet with canola oil and cook the shrimp over medium-high heat. Add the butter to help with the browning. Flip the shrimp after about a minute. Add the lemon zest.
  • Divide the grits between 2 bowls and top each with 3 pieces of shrimp. Drizzle the shrimp with the salsa.

This recipe is a waste of time and money. The shrimp were tough, the grits were gritty, and the green apple salsa was inedible. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This dish was bland and boring. The shrimp were tasteless, the grits were watery, and the green apple salsa was flavorless. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This recipe was a disaster! The shrimp were mushy, the grits were lumpy, and the green apple salsa was too spicy. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

The shrimp were a bit overcooked, but the grits were creamy and flavorful. The green apple salsa was too sweet for my taste. Overall, this dish was just okay.
