Time 1h45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 26

2 1/2 cups cream
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
2 to 3 tablespoons hot sauce
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 1/2 cups grits, such as Logan Turnpike stone-ground grits
1/4 cup onion powder
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 stick butter
8 ounces butter
1 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons smoked paprika
1 tablespoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon crushed chipotle pepper
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 clove garlic, crushed
1/2 stick butter
1 cup freshly cut corn kernels
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary needles, finely chopped
1 tablespoon sugar, plus more if needed
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
20 large (size 16-20) shrimp, peeled and deveined with tail on
4 slices lemon, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the grits: Combine 4 cups water, the cream, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce and salt, and bring to a boil. In a medium bowl combine the grits, onion powder, garlic powder and pepper. Add the dry ingredients to the boiling liquid, whisking vigorously. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook for 45 minutes. Whisk regularly, every 3 to 5 minutes, so the grits do not stick and burn.
  • Remove from the heat and add the butter, whisking until it's completely incorporated into the grits.
  • For the BBQ sauce: Combine the oil and butter and melt over medium heat. Add the paprika, rosemary, oregano, salt, black pepper and chipotle, and bring to simmer for 15 minutes. Add the garlic and simmer 5 minutes, not letting the garlic brown. Remove from the heat and add the lemon juice. Strain and discard the solids (they will burn if you cook the shrimp with them).
  • For the corn: Melt the butter in a medium saute pan and add the corn. Add the sugar and some salt and pepper and cook until the corn is bright yellow and just cooked through.
  • Pour the BBQ sauce in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan and add the shrimp. Cook, stirring regularly until firm to the touch, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Divide the grits among four serving bowls and add 5 shrimp per bowl. Drizzle some BBQ sauce over the grits and sprinkle some corn on top. Garnish each bowl with a slice of lemon and then serve.

I'm allergic to shrimp, so I used chicken instead. It turned out just as good!

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover shrimp. I had some shrimp from a boil the night before and they were perfect for this dish.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my shrimp and grits turned out mushy. I think I overcooked the grits.

I had some trouble finding Louisiana BBQ sauce, but I used a different BBQ sauce and it still turned out great.

The shrimp were cooked perfectly and the grits were creamy and flavorful. The sauce was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed the dish.
