Shrimp And Grits Recipe

Directions for Preparing Shrimp and Grits

1. 1

   Prepare the Grits

   In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Slowly whisk in the Hatch chili grits. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring frequently until thickened (about 20-25 minutes). Stir in the heavy cream, salt, pepper, and set aside.

2. 2

   Cook the Bacon

   In a large skillet, cook the bacon lardons over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the skillet.

3. 3

   Sauté the Shrimp

   In the same skillet with the bacon fat, add olive oil and garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the shrimp and Creole seasoning. Cook until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through (about 3-5 minutes).

4. 4

   Char the Ramps

   In a separate skillet, add a bit of olive oil and sauté the charred ramps on medium heat for about 2-3 minutes until slightly tender.

5. 5

   Assemble the Dish

   To serve, spoon a generous portion of the Hatch chili grits onto a plate. Top with sautéed shrimp, crispy bacon lardons, and charred ramps. Drizzle with Romesco sauce.
