Shrimp and Grits Tonight...

Florida Grillin Girl

My first time making this. I got the recipe from Throwdown, yes, this guy beat Bobby Flay:

http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/shrimp-and-grits-recipe/index.html
I used the one from the cookbook which calls for homemade shrimp stock instead of chicken stock, yes I used homemade fish stock. I also used smoked paprika and did not use italian seasoning.

The egg is happy and ready for the shrimp to go on. It is raining but I'm not sure if you can tell in the pic:



The shrimp were egged very gently - here they are right before the flip:



I made the cheesy grits and the sauce in the house, not to mention fried up some pancetta, too.

Plated - grits first, then shrimp, then sauce, garnished with parsley and crispy pancetta~



Closeup, wish I knew how to use a flash correctly:



WOW, what a great dish. A definite do over!

C'mon, Hoss, I am not sure if this would meet your standards, after all, this is not really the REAL south!!

LC,

I had the same trouble with the link and have seen that episode, assuming there was only one shrimp and grits throwdown.

I've made this one on the egg, grilling the shrimp first instead of sautéing. It got rave reviews.

Florida Grilling Girl can hopefully confirm that this link is the same recipe.

p.s. Just checked the link and found the problem with the link in the original post. It was simply the trailing period that makes it fail.

Florida Grillin Girl

Hi, LC. And thank you!

It's a great recipe. The grits were awesome just on their own. Add the spicy shrimp and that sauce, and it's a wow!! I will make this again and again!

Little Chef

Nice Job! Thanks for your help!

CaptainSpaulding

Always glad to help, Michelle.

It's a great recipe. I did the grits on the egg, as well, in a cast iron pan. Faith's post has me thinking about grilling the shrimp and then going indirect with a paella pan fir the grits.

Joe

Florida Grillin Girl

That is the correct link, Captain Spaulding. I used the Throwdown cookbook, and the recipe is slightly different. The main difference is the use of shrimp stock instead of chicken stock.

Griffin

As usual Faith....WOW!! I have that cookbook, as well, and I have marked that as a recipe to do, I just never got around to it. I'm going to have to now. I wonder if adding some sausage to it would make it even better......hmmmm. That's got me thinking.

Florida Grillin Girl

Griffin, I think the addition of sausage would be great. The flavors of this dish are really good, even using a different cheese would be good too.

Mainegg

Oh NICE!!! have that bookmarked and will have to give a shot.. going to have to order some grits though lol now a staple in the stores here in Maine LOL

Florida Grillin Girl

Mainegg, I used the quick cooking kind, not the instant. I can send you some, no problem.

Ripnem

Boy that sure looks good, Faith. Thanks for sharing.

Can I get grits up here? :S
