Shrimp and Grits (part deux)
« Reply #-1 on: August 01, 2018, 08:24:25 AM »
Well last night I wanted shrimp and grits so I said OK, I'm going to try this again and see if I can make it bettter.

So I melted 1/4 stick real butter in the frying pan and brought it up on very high heat.  Next I tossed in my shrimp and Tony Chachere's just for a few seconds then turned them then removed so they wouldn't over cook (trying Hub's advice  :thumbup: )  I din't over cook them

Next I added the grits to the butter and let the grits become browned (like you would with noodles and rice in Rice-A Roni from my younger days  ;)

I browned the grits for about 3 mins to soak up all the remaining butter in the pan then I added water,  half & half and the shimp back in let that simmer for about 5 mins plus more Tony Chachere's

Then I plated and used an alfredo sauce to top off with a little red pepper.

To me this was better than the last try for sure and browning the grits in the butter first really helped!

Sorry Gus, filled this out this morning at work was still sleeping  :D :D

I used 1 packet of instant grits, 1/2 cup of water and 3 Tbs of Half & Half.   as for the Tony Chachere's I used about a 1 Tbs total 1/2 with cooking the shrim and the other half when finishing

as far as shrimp I used about 3/4 cup small shrim fryed in 1/4 stick of butter

OR come to the Bomm-A-Roasa and I'll ifix it for you
