Categories     Shellfish     Dinner     Sauté

Number Of Ingredients 17

24 Large, Heads-on Shrimp
13 tablespoons 1 Stick plus 5 TBS Butter
1 tablespoon Minced Garlic
2 teaspoons Worcestershire Sauce
1/2 cup Shrimp Stock
1/4 cup Abita Amber beer at room temperature
1 tablespoon Molasses or cane syrup to taste
1 cup Stone ground white grits
4 cups Water
1 cup Shredded Romano cheese
1 tablespoon Creole Seasoning
1 teaspoon Crab boil seasoning
1/2 teaspoon Dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon Dried rosemary, crushed
1/8 teaspoon Dried oregano
1 Bay leaf
1 Lemon

Steps:

  • Grits: Add 1 Cup grits to 4 Cups water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Stir in cheese and set aside.
  • Clean shrimp, deheading and keeping as much of the orange shrimp fat as possible attached to the body. Use heads and shells to make a shrimp stock.
  • In a large skillet, combine butter with the garlic, Worcestershire sauce, crab boil seasoning and herbs over medium heat to bring out the flavors
  • When the butter is melted, add the shrimp stock, beer, a spritz of lemon juice and cook until sauce thickens slightly.
  • Add the cleaned shrimp and cook for 2 minutes, shaking the pan in a back and forth motion until shrimp is opaque.
  • Spread 1 Cup of grits on each plate and spoon a liberal amount of sauce over the top.

I'm allergic to shrimp, so I used chicken instead. It was still really good!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my grits turned out really bland. I think I might have forgotten to add the salt.

The shrimp were a bit overcooked, but the grits were creamy and delicious.

I followed the recipe exactly and the grits came out too thick. I had to add more milk to thin them out.

I'm not a huge fan of grits, but these were really good! The shrimp and cheese made all the difference.
