Yield Makes 6 (first-course) or 4 (main-course servings)

Number Of Ingredients 16

Grits
4 1/4 cups chicken stock or canned low-salt chicken broth
3/4 cup whipping cream
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) butter
1 garlic clove, minced
1 cup corn grits* (such as Arrowhead Mills)
Shrimp
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
1/3 cup finely chopped shallots
1 large garlic clove, minced
2 pounds uncooked large shrimp, peeled, deveined
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 14 1/2-ounce can diced tomatoes in juice, drained, juice reserved
4 ounces prosciutto, cut into thin strips (about 1 cup)
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • For grits:
  • Bring chicken stock, whipping cream, butter and garlic to boil in heavy large saucepan. Gradually whisk in corn grits. Return to boil, whisking constantly. Reduce heat to low. Simmer uncovered until grits thicken, whisking often, about 15 minutes.
  • For shrimp:
  • Melt 1/4 cup butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallots and garlic and sauté until tender, about 4 minutes. Add shrimp and sauté 2 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer shrimp to large bowl. Add white wine to skillet and boil until reduced to glaze, about 5 minutes. Add drained diced tomatoes and half of prosciutto and simmer until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Add parsley, chives and sautéed shrimp and simmer until shrimp are warmed through, about 2 minutes. Thin sauce with some of reserved tomato juices, if desired. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Spoon corn grits into shallow bowls. Top each serving with shrimp-prosciutto-tomato mixture, dividing equally. Garnish with remaining prosciutto strips and serve immediately.
  • *Corn grits, also known as polenta, are available at Italian markets, natural foods stores and some supermarkets. If unavailable, substitute 1 cup regular yellow cornmeal and cook about 8 minutes.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover shrimp. The grits are creamy and cheesy, and the shrimp add a nice salty flavor. I served it with a side of roasted vegetables, and it was a perfect meal.

This recipe was okay, but I've had better. The shrimp were a bit tough, and the sauce was too thin. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This shrimp and grits recipe was a disappointment. The grits were undercooked, and the shrimp were overcooked. The sauce was also bland and lacked flavor.

I wasn't a big fan of this recipe. The grits were too mushy, and the sauce was bland. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I've made this recipe a few times now, and it's always a hit. The grits are creamy and cheesy, and the shrimp are cooked just right. I love the addition of prosciutto, which gives the dish a nice salty flavor.

This shrimp and grits recipe is a winner! The creamy sauce is rich and flavorful, and the shrimp are cooked perfectly. The prosciutto adds a nice touch of saltiness and crunch. I served it with a side of roasted asparagus, and it was a perfect meal.
