Shrimp and Grits
« Reply #-1 on: July 16, 2018, 08:14:53 AM »
Kimmie and I went to Tenn a few weeks back for an adventour drive (go where the car takes us)  ;)    We stopped for lunch at a coffee place and found they had Shrimp and Grits so Kimmie said I'm in lets go.  So we did, now I not much on grits but OMG this was sooooo good I had to try to make it for her at the house. and here it is ...

I used quick cheese grits due to time.   

I pan fried shrimp in butter and Tony Chachere's then removed to a side dish till the grits were ready

Next..  I boiled the water in the pan and used the water to clean the fond off the bottom to keep as much flavor as I could. Then I cooked the grits in the water and mixed in a little half and half then added shrimp to set the flavor.   Cooked down for 5 mins low boil then added a few more shrimp to the top.  Add Alfrado sauce as the gravy (Crazy but works)!!!

Looks awesome Tommy. When you want to do something extra...try adding some tasso ham rind, and sub heavy cream for water or milk  to those grits as they cook..... ;)

We scored a bunch of extra jumbos (16-20) a few weeks ago at a ridiculously low price and went on a shrimp binge. The highlight was making KyNola's New Orleans style BBQ shrimp (one of our go-to recipes) on cheese grits. And since we didn't dip all the sauce I had some amazing flavored butter left over for the roux in a great shrimp & sausage gumbo. Just sayin'...

Very sound initial approach, TMB.  They look mighty fine!  You're getting some good advice feedback, too.  One more thing:  Undercook your shrimp just slightly.  A  minute in the hot grits will finish them perfectly.  I love this dish but the hardest part of doing it right is not letting the shrimp get overdone.  Overcooked shrimp are rubbery and lose a lot of their flavor.  Keep on cookin'  ;D

  I just need one of those bowls and I'd be set!
 You can boil or saute the shrimp shells and heads a few minutes and get really nice stock for things like this too.
