cheesy grits an shrimp

lowercasebill

the raws



chinese broccoli



sauteed in butter and garlic



brushed with butter and egged



used the creamy goat cheese,, way to bitter so i shredded a fist sized piece of jarlsburg and added some more salt ..

this was a first try and the bottomless pits appoved i would make a few changes,, first, find a less bitter and creamier goat cheese. the shrimps were brushed with butter..... good but next time i will dust with tony's or old bay.. and before plating the shrimp i think putting the grits under the broiler to add a bit of crisp to the top

now the story behind the story.
thanks to jl for the grits.. i asked him to send me some down home southern grits as all i can get here is quaker oats grits ,.. what do phila quakers know about grits? i open the package from my friend and guess who manufactures aunt jemima grits .. yep quaker oats,, they were good.
i have moved the grits line north

not a bad start for north of the mason dixon

we have been doing grits for 20 years but never with cheese., and there are leftovers ,, to be sliced and fried and called cheesy cornmeal mush and served with scrapple muhahahahaha

Hoss

I know you'll get it!

would have been a cheese steak if i had put the andui in it,,
thinking now of a zippy moment savory sage corn bread with steak shrimp and andui or chorizo topping and call it a philly cheese steak ,, :laugh:

It looks good....I usually use a mild cheddar cheese and a dash of garlic powder. If you like the Jarlsberg you might consider Gruyere - I've used that as well.

Funny, when it comes to oatmeal, the only brand for me is Quaker Oats...and when we're talking grits, I only buy Aunt Jemima (had no clue Quaker owned them). :laugh:

being a southern gal myself, I just discovered shrimp n grits about a year ago. Try some crumbled bacon bits, and sliced green onions on top of your shrimp and grits...yummyy....
Now..you got me craving some....

lowercasebill

i am a label reader ..
grew up with quaker oats but sue McCanns now,
got to experiment with the cheese,, the bottomless pits liek goat cheese .. i am not a fan but i was cooking for them

lowercasebill

that is a winner .. pass on the tony's or old bay and use home made hickory smoked bacon bits..
now i am thinking about the left overs egged sliced cheesy grits with bacon bits maybe sliced egged chicken breasts and green beans sauteed in bacon grease?
