Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Grits

    In a medium saucepan, bring water and salt to a boil. Stir in grits and reduce heat to low. Cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened. Stir in heavy cream and keep warm.

  2. 2

    Cook the Pork Belly

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the smoked pork belly and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Trinity

    In the same skillet, add olive oil and sauté the diced bell pepper, onion, and celery (the trinity) until softened, about 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Cook the Shrimp

    Season the shrimp with paprika, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and garlic. Add to the skillet with the trinity and cook until shrimp are pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes.

  5. 5

    Make Chipotle Butter Sauce

    In a small saucepan, melt butter and stir in chipotle peppers and lemon juice. Cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Dish

    Serve the creamy grits topped with the crispy pork belly, sautéed shrimp and trinity, drizzled with chipotle butter sauce.
