Shrimp And Grits Recipe

Shrimp and Grits

From omrebel 17 years ago

Another favorite. I've found the gouda cheese grits to add a nice, different flavor to the traditional recipe.

For the grits:
Bring first 4 ingredients to a boil in a medium saucepan
Gradually whisk in grits and red pepper. DO NOT ADD ANY SALT.
Cover, reduce heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes or until thickened (I cook them longer because I like them a little thicker).
Add cheese, butter, and hot sauce, stirring until melted.
For the shrimp & sauce:
Heat a large skillet until very hot and add olive oil and two tablespoons of bacon grease.
As the oil begins to smoke, toss in shrimp.
Stir shrimp until it begins to turn pink.
Stir in minced garlic and bacon bits.
Toss in mushrooms.
Add lemon juice and wine, stir to about 30 seconds until all is covered well.
Toss in scallions and cook until done.
Serve shrimp over cheese grits.

I have made this but we call it Grits a YaYa, created by a local chef. You can look it up on the web and it is very similar to this. It is so fabulous!
