Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 1/3 cups instant grits (four 1-ounce packets)
1 cup shredded Cheddar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
Freshly ground black pepper
3/4 pound large peeled and deveined shrimp, tails removed
Kosher salt
1 1/2 cups crusty bread, crust removed, bread torn into 1/2-inch pieces
2 large scallions, sliced
1 link andouille sausage, sliced into half-moons (3 ounces)
1 stalk celery, diced
1/2 red bell pepper, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce, plus more for serving
Juice of 1/2 lemon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Bring 1 1/2 cups water to a simmer in a large saucepan.
  • Meanwhile, add the grits, 1/2 cup of the Cheddar, 2 tablespoons of the butter and a few grinds of black pepper to a 2-quart casserole dish. Pour in the simmering water, and whisk until there are no lumps.
  • Toss the shrimp with 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl; set aside. Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bread and a pinch of salt to the butter, toss quickly to coat, then transfer to a small bowl; set aside.
  • Wipe out the skillet, and melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat.

Time 1h35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups wide egg noodles
2 tablespoons butter
1 ½ tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 ½ cups milk
½ cup heavy cream
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 cup frozen green peas, thawed
1 (4.5 ounce) can sliced mushrooms, drained
1 cup crushed buttery round crackers
1 tablespoon cold butter, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 3-quart casserole dish.
  • Fill a large pot with water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Stir in the shrimp, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook the shrimp until opaque and bright pink, about 3 minutes. Remove the shrimp to a bowl with a slotted spoon. Return the water to a full rolling boil over high heat, and stir in the noodles. Cook until the noodles are tender, about 8 minutes; drain in a colander set in the sink.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan over medium heat, and stir the flour into the butter to make a paste. Remove the pan from the heat; slowly whisk in the milk and cream until smooth. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Return the sauce to the heat, lower heat to a simmer, and whisk constantly until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
  • Place noodles into the prepared casserole dish, and top with peas, mushrooms, and cooked shrimp. Pour the sauce over the casserole, and sprinkle the crushed cracker crumbs evenly over the top. Dot the top of the casserole with about 6 thin slices of butter.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the cracker topping is crisp and golden brown, about 1 hour.
