Shrimp And Grits Recipe

	Wmhaynes / All my dishes 2 years, 4 months ago This is a common dish in the "lowcountry" of south carolina at the coast. It is said that the "Old Post Office Restaurant" on Edisto Island was the first to combine these great taste. I have visitors bring grits when they come to Thailand so I can make this!...

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS – Grits

2 cups water

2 cups milk

1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning

2 cloves garlic – finely diced

3 tablespoons butter

1 cup grits (not instant, we recommend stone ground)

INGREDIENTS - Shrimp

3 tablespoons butter

4 slices of bacon, finely diced

4 cloves garlic diced

1 large onion diced

1 tablespoon flour

1 pound Shrimp

3/4 cup water

1/2 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning

2 teaspoons seafood or vegetable bouillon

Directions

Heat the water, milk, old bay, garlic, and butter in a medium saucepan until right before boiling. Add grits and cook for 6-8 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a separate skillet or wok, melt the butter and sauté the bacon, garlic, and onion.

When the garlic and onion are lightly browned and transparent, add flour to make a basic roux. Stir until fully mixed.

Add shrimp and 1/4 cup water, cover and simmer. When shrimp are partially cooked, add the remainder of the water, Old Bay, and bouillon.

Allow to continue to simmer until gravy thickens.

Serve 3/4 cup cooked grits in a bowl and cover with Shrimp in gravy.

Can you replace the bacon with tasso ham?

Absolutely. The idea is just that you make a very flavorful gravy that works with the shrimp. Enjoy!

We live in Charleston, SC and have had many forms of shrimp and grits... we made this recipe the other day and I found it to be better then some restuarants! We used sausage instead of bacon (just because we had it) and are making it again this weekend for my mother.

I just love shrimp and grits! One of the best versions I've had was at a restaurant in Washington, NC and they added some andouille sausage to it. Wonderful! Bookmarking this one to try!

Believe it or not, I have lived in the South(New Orleans louisiana) my whole life and have never tried shrimp and grits. I love watching cooking shows, like Food Network, and Top Chef and I keep seeing this made and it looks delicious. I am excited about giving your recipe for it a try. It looks wonderful.
