Lindas Lemon Shrimp And Sausage With Grit Cakes Recipes

Steps:

• Bring 3 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat, covered. Uncover and slowly whisk in the grits, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Reduce the heat to medium low and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the Parmesan and 1 tablespoon butter. Remove from the heat and season with salt and pepper. Cover to keep warm.
• Meanwhile, season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp, garlic and cayenne, if using, and cook, tossing, until the shrimp are pink, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and add 2 tablespoons water, the lemon juice and parsley; stir to coat the shrimp with the sauce and season with salt and pepper.
• Divide the grits among shallow bowls and top with the shrimp and sauce. Serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Spray 12-inch skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium-high heat. Add shrimp; sprinkle with seafood seasoning and pepper. Cook 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until shrimp are pink. Remove shrimp; keep warm.
• Respray skillet with cooking spray. Add bell pepper; cook 2 minutes over medium-high heat, stirring frequently. Add sausage; cook 2 minutes until lightly browned. Add garlic and cooked shrimp. Cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add 1/4 cup water; cook 30 seconds, stirring to loosen brown particles. Remove from heat; cover. In 2-quart saucepan, heat 1 1/2 cups water to boiling. Gradually stir in grits; reduce heat. Cover; simmer 5 minutes. Stir in milk. Remove from heat. Add remaining ingredients. Serve grits with shrimp mixture.

Steps:

• For the grits: Bring 2 cups of the chicken stock, the heavy cream and 4 tablespoons of the butter to a simmer in a heavy saucepan. Gradually whisk in the grits. Reduce the heat and simmer until the grits have thickened, 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to avoid lumps. Once the grits are thick and creamy, adjust the consistency with stock, if necessary, and season with salt and pepper.
• For the shrimp and sausage: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Add the sausage and brown, then transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon, leaving all of the fat in the pan. Add the garlic, bell peppers and onions. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and saute until tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the shrimp and Cajun seasoning to the pan and saute until the shrimp are beginning to turn pink, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the reserved sausage and remaining 1/2 cup chicken stock to the skillet and reduce a bit to intensify those flavors. Stir in the remaining tablespoon butter at the end, garnish with parsley, and add the lemon juice.
• Serve the sausage, peppers and shrimp over the grits.

Remove from the heat and add 2 tablespoons water, the lemon juice and parsley; stir to coat the shrimp with the sauce and season with salt and black pepper.
• Divide the grits among shallow bowls and top with the shrimp and sauce. Serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• In medium skillet, over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter. When the butter is melted, add the celery, red onion, green onion, and green pepper. Sprinkle with seasoning salt while cooking. Cook until vegetables are soft, about 6 minutes.
• In medium skillet over medium heat mix shrimp, vermouth, and lemon juice. Cook until shrimp are pink. Once cooked, transfer to a food processor and pulse until shrimp are coarsely chopped.
• In a bowl combine grits, vegetable mixture, shrimp mixture, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and mayonnaise. When well blended stir in eggs, and add crabmeat.
• On plastic lined cookie sheet drop 1/4 cup of mixture for each patty and flatten gently. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 2 hours.
• Once chilled, dredge patties in all-purpose flour. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add remaining 1 tablespoon oil, and 1 tablespoon butter. When the butter is melted, add the patties and cook until golden brown. Drain on a paper towel lined plate. Serve with lemon sauce.
• Stir all ingredients together.

Steps:

• In a large pot over medium heat, cook beef until brown. Drain off all fat. Add onion and cook until translucent. Add tomato paste, crushed tomatoes, water, oregano, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and sugar. Stir until combined and cook over medium heat until boiling. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 hour.
• While sauce is simmering, blend cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese, and egg until smooth. Set aside.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Spread 1 cup of sauce in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Cover sauce with 3 noodles. Cover noodles with 1/3 of the remaining sauce. Top with 1/2 of the mozzarella. Place another layer of noodles and one of sauce over the mozzarella; top that with the cottage cheese mixture. Top with remaining 3 noodles and remaining sauce.
• Bake in preheated oven 30 minutes. Sprinkle remaining mozzarella on top and bake 15 minutes more, until golden and bubbly.

Steps:

• Cook grits as directed on package, using about 6 cups stock instead of water. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; coat paper with cooking spray. Stir Parmesan and butter into grits; season with salt and black pepper. Pour grits onto sheet; smooth into an even layer. Cover and refrigerate until very firm, at least 2 1/2 hours or overnight. Use a 2-inch biscuit or round cookie cutter to cut out 16 cakes; cover cakes and refrigerate. A half hour before serving, heat oven to 300°. In a bowl, toss shrimp with juice and a few shakes of hot pepper sauce. In a large skillet, sauté bacon and bell pepper over medium heat until bacon is light brown but not crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove all but 2 teaspoons bacon fat from pan. Reduce heat to medium-low; add scallions and toss to coat. Sprinkle in flour; sauté, stirring frequently with a wooden spatula, until light brown, 2 to 5 minutes. Add remaining 2/3 cup stock and wine; cook, stirring, until sauce thickens. Season with salt, black pepper and more hot pepper sauce. Add shrimp and any liquid; sauté until just opaque, 2 to 5 minutes, being careful not to overcook. Just prior to serving, transfer grits cakes to a baking sheet; bake until warm through, about 6 minutes. Spoon a bit of sauce and 1 shrimp over each cake; garnish with parsley. Do AHEAD: The grits-cake base of these nibbles needs to firm up in the fridge for at least 2 1/2 hours-and more time is fine. Prep it the night before your party.
