Categories main-dish

Time 3h15m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

4 ounces beef short rib
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 ounces mirepoix (equal parts chopped celery, carrots and onions)
1 cup red wine
2 ounces beef stock
1/2 cup stone-ground white grits
2 ounces cream cheese or mascarpone
2 tablespoons sliced green onions
2 ounces grapeseed oil
2 ounces green beans
4 jumbo shrimp (size 16/20), peeled and deveined
2 ounces goat cheese

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
Heat a high-sided saute pan over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the beef with salt and pepper, and then sear the meat to render the fat. Add the mirepoix and cook to caramelize the vegetables. Deglaze with the wine and reduce. Add the beef stock, then transfer to the oven and cook until tender, 3 hours.
Cook the grits according to the package instructions, then mix in the cream cheese and green onions to finish.
Heat the grapeseed oil in a large saute pan and saute the green beans and shrimp until cooked through, 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then add the goat cheese.
On a serving plate, add a line of grits, place the short rib on one area with some of the sauce from the bottom of the braising pan. Place the green beans next to the short rib and the shrimp over the green beans. Serve hot.

1 large garlic clove
1 7-ounce jar roasted red peppers, drained
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon Sherry wine vinegar or red wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
16 cooked shrimp, peeled, deveined

Cover and refrigerate.)
Arrange cooked shrimp on plates. Spoon romesco sauce over and serve.

Tips:

Choose the right shrimp. Medium or large shrimp work best for this recipe.
Devein the shrimp. This is a quick and easy process that will help remove any grit or sand from the shrimp.
Season the shrimp. A simple combination of salt, pepper, and garlic powder is all you need.
Sear the shrimp in hot oil. This will help create a nice crust on the outside of the shrimp while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
Make the romesco sauce. This flavorful sauce is made with roasted red peppers, almonds, and tomatoes.
Cook the creamy grits. Grits are a Southern staple that are easy to make and go well with shrimp.
Sauté the greens. Greens such as collard greens or kale add a healthy and flavorful touch to the dish.
Assemble the dish. Place the shrimp on top of the grits, then spoon the romesco sauce over the shrimp. Finally, top with the sautéed greens.
Serve immediately. This dish is best enjoyed hot.
