Time 50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 stick salted butter, at room temperature
1 tablespoon seafood seasoning, such as Old Bay
2 scallions (white and green parts), finely chopped
1 large clove garlic, grated on a rasp
Grated zest of 1 lemon
2 pounds frozen shelled and deveined jumbo shrimp, defrosted and roughly chopped
1 cup heavy cream
Kosher salt and coarsely ground black pepper
Kosher salt and coarsely ground black pepper
3/4 cup quick grits
1 cup shredded smoked Gouda
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • For the compound butter and shrimp. In a medium bowl, add the butter, seafood seasoning, scallions, garlic and lemon zest and mash together until combined. Scrape the mixture into plastic wrap and make into a log, or cover it in the bowl. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Divide the shrimp into 2 foil packets, top each with 2 thick slices of the compound butter, fold up and bake for 8 to 10 minutes.
  • For the grits. In a large pot on medium-high heat, add the heavy cream, a pinch of salt, a few grinds of black pepper and 2 cups water. Bring to a gentle boil, then add the grits and cook, stirring, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the cheese.
  • Serve the grits in a bowl topped with a tablespoon or so of the compound butter and the shrimp. Serve with lemon wedges for squeezing.

The shrimp were cooked well, but the grits were a little bland. I think I'll add some more cheese next time.

The shrimp and grits were delicious, but the grits were a little too spicy for me. Next time I'll use less Cajun seasoning.
