Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Grits

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

   In a skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the tasso ham and cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly crispy. Add the oyster mushrooms and cook for an additional 5 minutes until tender.

3. 3

   Cook the Shrimp

   Add the wild gulf shrimp to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes, until they turn pink and opaque. Stir in the house Worcestershire sauce and season with black pepper.

   Combine and Serve

   Once the grits are done, spoon them into bowls and top with the shrimp and tasso ham mixture. Garnish with chopped scallions and drizzle with herb vinaigrette before serving.
