Grits

Shrimp & Sauce

Method

Grits Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Grits

    In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 cup of grits and 1 teaspoon of salt. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 20-25 minutes or until the grits are thick and creamy.

  2. 2

    Add Butter and Cheese

    Once the grits are cooked, stir in 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 cup of cheddar cheese until melted and fully incorporated. Keep warm on low heat.

Shrimp & Sauce Preparation

  1. 3

    Cook the Bacon

    In a large skillet, cook 4 slices of bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels, leaving the bacon fat in the skillet.

  2. 4

    Sauté Vegetables

    In the same skillet with the bacon grease, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add 1 cup of sliced mushrooms and 1 medium chopped bell pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until softened.

  3. 5

    Add Garlic and Shrimp

    Stir in 2 minced garlic cloves and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add 1 pound of peeled and deveined shrimp, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of paprika. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the shrimp are pink and opaque.

  4. 6

    Deglaze with White Wine

    Pour in 1 cup of white wine to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the sauce has reduced slightly.

  5. 7

    Finish the Dish

    Crumble the cooked bacon and add it back to the skillet along with 2 tablespoons of chopped parsley. Stir to combine and remove from heat.
