Time 42m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 to 5 cups shrimp stock
Salt
1 cup yellow stone ground cornmeal
1 cup grated white Cheddar
Freshly ground black pepper
3 green onions, thinly sliced, for garnish
1/2 pound thick double-smoked cut bacon, cut into lardons

Provided by Bobby Flay

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h5m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

4 to 5 cups Shrimp Stock, recipe follows (see Cook's Note) or vegetable stock
Kosher salt
1 cup yellow stone-ground grits
1 1/2 cups grated white cheddar cheese
1/4 cup heavy cream
Freshly ground black pepper
2 scallions (green parts only), thinly sliced, for garnish
Sauteed Shrimp (including the reserved garlic oil and bacon), recipe follows
5 cups raw shrimp shells, heads and tails (about 2 pounds), rinsed well
1 medium yellow onion, coarsely chopped
1 small carrot, coarsely chopped
1 medium celery stalk, coarsely chopped
1 cup white wine
2 plum tomatoes, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon chipotle in adobo sauce
1 bay leaf
10 flat-leaf parsley sprigs
1/2 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
1/2 pound thick double-smoked cut bacon, cut into lardons
20 large (21 to 24 count) shrimp, shelled and deveined
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Bring 4 cups of the shrimp stock and 2 teaspoons of salt to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Slowly whisk in the grits and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking until the grits are soft and have lost their gritty texture, whisking every few minutes, 25 to 35 minutes. If the mixture becomes too thick, add the remaining stock and continue cooking until absorbed. Add the cheese and heavy cream and whisk until smooth; season with salt and pepper.
  • Divide the grits among 4 bowls and top with the sauteed shrimp. Drizzle with some of the garlic oil and bacon (reserved from the sauteed shrimp) and sprinkle with some of the scallions.
  • In a large saucepan, heat the oil over high heat until almost smoking. Add the shrimp shells, heads and tails, onion, carrot and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Add the wine and cook until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Add 10 cups of cold water, the tomatoes, chipotle, bay leaf, parsley and peppercorns. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, skimming the surface occasionally, for 40 minutes.
  • Strain the stock through a fine-mesh strainer lined with cheesecloth into a large bowl, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible, then discard the solids. The stock can be made 2 days in advance, tightly covered and refrigerated or frozen for up to 3 months.
  • Place bacon in a medium skillet over medium heat and cook until golden brown and crisp and the fat has rendered, about 8 minutes. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon to a plate lined with paper towels.
  • Remove all but 3 tablespoons of the bacon fat from the skillet and place back on the heat. Increase the heat to high. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper, add to the skillet in a single layer, in batches, if needed, with the garlic and thyme, and cook, flipping once, until the shrimp are lightly golden brown on both sides and just cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove shrimp to a plate. Add the bacon to the garlic oil left in the skillet and reserve to drizzle over the finished dish.

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
2 teaspoons anchovy paste or 3 anchovy fillets, patted dry
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped to a paste
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
2 green onions, green and light green parts only, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons canola oil
3/4 pound thick-cut bacon, cut into lardon
1 1/2 cups rice flour
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground ancho powder
1/2 teaspoon chile de arbol powder
1 pound large shrimp (21/24), peeled and deveined
Two 15-ounce cans hominy, drained, rinsed well and drained again
2 cups heavy cream
2 to 3 cups shrimp stock, crab stock or vegetable stock
1 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese
1 cup grated aged Irish Cheddar or other good quality aged Cheddar
Pinch cayenne
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the breadcrumbs: Melt the butter in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the anchovy paste and cook for 30 seconds. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  • Stir in the breadcrumbs and cook until lightly golden brown. Stir in the green onions, parsley and thyme and season with salt and pepper.
  • For the shrimp: Heat the oil in a large saute pan over medium heat until it begins to shimmer. Add the bacon and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 7 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon to a plate lined with paper towels and reserve. Reserve the pan with the oil to cook the shrimp.
  • Whisk together the rice flour and 1 1/4 cups water in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Let rest for 5 minutes. Combine the cumin, ancho powder, chile de arbol, 2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Season the shrimp on both sides with the spice mixture.
  • Return the pan with the bacon fat to the burner and heat over high heat until it begins to shimmer. Dip the shrimp in the batter and let the excess drip off. Saute the shrimp in batches until lightly golden brown and just cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
  • For the grits: Put the hominy in a food processor with 1 cup of the cream and pulse until coarsely chopped.
  • Bring 2 cups of the shrimp stock to a simmer in a medium saucepan, add the hominy mixture and stir to combine. Cook until soft, about 5 minutes, adding more stock if needed. Add the Monterey Jack, Cheddar and the remaining cup of cream and cook until incorporated, about 2 minutes; season with the cayenne, salt and pepper.
  • Spoon the grits into bowls. Top each with 5 shrimp for an entree portion or 3 shrimp for an appetizer. Sprinkle with the breadcrumbs and garnish with the reserved bacon.

SHRIMP AND GRITS (BOBBY FLAY) RECIPE



Shrimp and Grits (Bobby Flay) Recipe image

Provided by á-49759

Number Of Ingredients 22

Grits:
2 cups water
2 chicken bouillon cubes (recommended: Knorr)
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 cup quick grits (recommended: Quaker)
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
3 1/2 ounces extra-sharp Cheddar
Sauce:
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 tablespoon minced garlic
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup chicken stock
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce (recommended: Texas Pete)
3 slices bacon - cooked and crumbled
Shrimp:
1 1/2 pounds (26-30 count) Wild Georgia Shrimp
2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning (recommended: Tone's Louisiana Cajun seasoning)
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • First, peel and devein the shrimp. In a small bowl, combine Cajun seasoning, paprika, Italian seasoning and salt and pepper, to taste. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the shrimp to coat well and set the shrimp aside. In a medium saucepan, bring water, chicken bouillon cubes and 2 tablespoons butter to a boil. Slowly add the grits, whisking often with wire whisk for 5 minutes. Add tomato paste, cream, and cheese. Keep whisking for another 2 or 3 minutes until the grits become creamy. Keep whisking for another 2 or 3 minutes until the grits become creamy. Now saute the shrimp. In a large saute pan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add minced garlic and stir for 30 seconds. Add in the spice-coated shrimp, and cook only until they're just done and tender. Don't overcook. Remove the shrimp from the saute pan and set them aside in a bowl. The roux is next. With all those wonderful drippings from the shrimp in the saute pan, add 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and stir with a wooden spatula to make a roux. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes until roux reaches a medium-tan color, then slowly add the chicken stock and heavy whipping cream. Whisk together and cook for 2 minutes, then whisk in Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce. Set aside. To serve, and this is the best part-place a few heaping spoonfuls of steaming cheese grits onto a plate, top with several sizzling shrimp. Drizzle that wonderful roux sauce over top of the shrimp, and sprinkle on bacon.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, large shrimp for the best flavor and texture.
  • If you don't have shrimp stock, you can use chicken or vegetable stock instead.
  • To make sure the grits are creamy, whisk them constantly while cooking.
  • Add the cheese to the grits slowly, stirring constantly until it is melted and smooth.
  • Serve the shrimp and grits immediately, garnished with chopped green onions and fresh parsley.
