Ingredients for Shrimp and Grits

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Grits

    In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the grits and salt, reduce heat to low, and cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until creamy.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set aside, leaving the drippings in the skillet.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add olive oil if necessary, and sauté the shallots and shiitake mushrooms until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the diced tomatoes and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.

  4. 4

    Cook the Shrimp

    Add the shrimp to the skillet, season with black pepper, and cook until the shrimp are pink and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the chopped basil and cooked bacon.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Spoon the creamy grits onto plates, and top with the sautéed shrimp mixture. Garnish with additional basil if desired.
