Taras Shrimp And Grits Recipes

TIA'S SHRIMP AND GRITS

Steps:

• For the shrimp: In a large skillet set over medium-high heat add the bacon and cook until crispy, 4 to 5 minutes, then transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Coarsely chop the bacon and set aside. Sprinkle the shrimp with salt and pepper on both sides and add it to the pan. Cook until the shrimp starts to turn pink, then flip and cook the other side until pink, about 2 minutes per side (they do not need to cook all the way through at this point). Set aside.
• Using the same pan, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the butter, celery, garlic, onions, peppers and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Saute until the onions are translucent, 7 to 10 minutes. Add the tomatoes with their juices, 1/2 cup water and the seafood seasoning. Stir to mix, cover, and cook until the tomatoes break down and the sauce begins to blend together, 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the shrimp back to the sauce to cook through, 3 minutes.
• For the grits: In a large saucepan set over medium-high heat, bring 2 1/2 cups water, the milk and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt to a boil. While whisking, slowly add the grits. Keep whisking for about 15 minutes. The grits should be creamy at this point. Add in the cheese and butter and stir until the cheese melts. Season with salt and pepper.
• To serve, scoop the grits into shallow bowls, then top each with some shrimp mixture, chopped bacon and green onions.

• In a saucepan over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy, about 5 minutes. Turn the heat to medium-high, add the onions and cook until they begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the shrimp, sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook until shrimp turn pink, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the butter, lemon juice and hot sauce. Toss to coat the shrimp, and remove from the heat. Stir in the parsley.
• Divide the grits among 4 bowls and serve the shrimp spooned over top of each.

Steps:

• Make the grits: Bring the chicken stock to a boil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the grits and cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has been completely absorbed, about 6 minutes.
• Whisk in the cream, butter, and cheddar cheese until melted and fully incorporated. Stir in the corn, salt, and Cajun seasoning. Remove the pot from the heat and cover to keep the grits warm while you make the shrimp.

SARA'S SHRIMP AND GRIT CAKES

Steps:

• Bring 6 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Butter a 13-by-18-inch baking pan. Slowly sprinkle grits into boiling water, stirring constantly with a whisk. Reduce heat to medium, and stir constantly until the mixture is thick, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the pan from heat, and stir in cheese, cumin, cayenne, salt, pepper, and scallions.
• Pour the mixture into prepared baking pan, and smooth out to a 1/2-inch-thick layer. Using a 2 1/2-inch-round cookie cutter, lightly mark out 24 circles in the grits. Press a shrimp half into each circle. Cover with plastic wrap, press down lightly to smooth, and refrigerate until set, 1 to 2 hours.
• Combine flour and cornmeal in a small bowl. Using a cookie cutter, cut the grits along the marked lines into rounds, keeping the shrimp centered in each circle. In a large skillet, heat 1 teaspoon butter and enough oil to cover the bottom over medium-high heat. Dredge the cakes in the flour mixture, and saute, 8 at a time, until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes on each side. Wipe out the skillet, and repeat, adding more butter and oil, until all cakes are cooked. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with paper towels. Top with a scant teaspoon of Seven Pepper Jelly and scallion greens; serve warm.
