Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 20

Grits
3 cups milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups old-fashioned grits
3 cups grated cheddar cheese (12 ounces)
Shrimp
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 medium green bell peppers, seeded and chopped
2 medium onions, chopped
2 jalapeƱo peppers, seeded and finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 cups heavy cream
Two 14 1/2-ounce cans diced tomatoes
2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
Tabasco or other hot sauce to taste
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, for garnish
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • To make the grits: Combine 4 cups of water, the milk, and salt in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a boil and slowly whisk in the grits. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover the saucepan and simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes, or until thickened. Stir in the cheddar cheese. Cover and keep warm over a low heat.
  • To make the shrimp: Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the flour and cook, stirring, until the mixture is dark and golden, about 5 minutes. Add the bell peppers, onions, jalapeƱos, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and pepper. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Slowly whisk in the cream. Once the cream is fully incorporated, slowly whisk in the tomatoes and 2/3 cup of water. Stir in the shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are just opaque, about 5 minutes.
  • Season the shrimp with the remaining 1 teaspoon salt, pepper, and Tabasco. Serve the shrimp over the grits and garnish with the Parmesan cheese and parsley.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my dish didn't turn out as good as the picture. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my shrimp n' grits turned out terrible. The grits were mushy and the shrimp were tough.

This recipe was a disaster! The grits were lumpy and the shrimp were rubbery. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The grits were bland and the shrimp were overcooked.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll use less cajun seasoning next time.

The grits were a bit too runny for my taste. I think I'll cook them for a few minutes longer next time.

I wish there were more shrimp in the recipe. It felt a bit shrimp-light.

Next time, I think I'll try adding some crumbled bacon to the grits. I bet that would be delicious.
