Shrimp & Grits Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Grits

    In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Slowly whisk in the grits, reducing heat to low. Cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Stir in the shredded pepperjack cheese and diced tasso ham. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm.

  2. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

    In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and diced shallots, sautéing until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the shrimp, cooking for 3-4 minutes until they turn pink.

  3. 3

    Make the Sauce

    Add the halved Campari tomatoes and white wine to the skillet. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the tomatoes soften and the sauce reduces slightly. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, mixing until melted and smooth.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Spoon the cheesy grits onto plates and top with the shrimp mixture. Garnish with sliced green onions and additional black pepper if desired.
