Shrimp And Grits With Louisiana Bbq Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Bring water and 1 pinch of salt to a boil in a saucepan and slowly mix in the grits, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low and simmer grits until tender and smooth, about 20 minutes; stir often. Set aside and keep warm.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; cook and stir tasso ham until crisp. Stir in onion and green bell pepper and cook until onion is translucent, about 4 minutes. Lightly stir the shrimp with the vegetables and olive oil just until pink, 30 to 45 seconds; remove shrimp from pan and set aside.
• Pour white wine into the skillet and stir, dissolving any browned bits of food in the bottom of the skillet; slowly add the cream, reduce heat to low, and simmer until thickened, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.
• Divide the grits onto 2 serving plates and line the edge of each plate with 10 shrimp. Pour cream sauce over grits and sprinkle each serving with chopped green onion tops.

Steps:

• For the grits: Bring the cream and 2 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the butter, salt and pepper. Slowly add the grits and reduce the heat to medium low. Cook, stirring continuously to keep the grits from getting lumpy and avoid scorching on the bottom of the pan, until the grits are rich, creamy and tender, about 20 minutes. Keep warm until ready to serve, stirring occasionally.
• For the sauce and shrimp: Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until some of the fat has rendered and the bacon has started to crisp and is about three-quarters done, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the onion and peppers and cook, stirring, until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the whiskey and carefully flambe. When the whiskey burns off, add the ketchup and brown sugar and season with salt and pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the shrimp to the sauce and simmer until just cooked through, about 1 minute.
• To serve, put some grits in the middle of 6 shallow bowls, then place the shrimp in a halo around each serving of grits. Top off with some extra sauce and sprinkle with extra-sharp Cheddar and diced scallions.

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to high heat.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot on medium-high heat. Add the onions and brown, about 6 to 8 minutes. Add in the grits and 6 cups of water and stir over medium-low heat until the grits have absorbed the water and are cooked through, about 20 to 25 minutes. Whisk the cheese into the grits and season with salt and pepper. Keep warm.
• Line a hot grill with Reynolds Wrap® Heavy Duty Aluminum Foil.
• Combine the shrimp, paprika, cumin, and remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a bowl and mix.
• Place the shrimp right onto the foil on the grill and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until browned and cooked throughout.
• Pour the BBQ sauce on top of the shrimp and mix.
• Serve shrimp with the cheesy grits.

Steps:

• Bring water to a boil. Add salt and pepper. Add grits and cook until water is absorbed, about 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in butter and cheese.
• Rinse shrimp and pat dry. Fry the bacon in a large skillet until browned; drain well. In grease, add shrimp. Cook until shrimp turn pink. Add lemon juice, chopped bacon, parsley, scallions and garlic. Saute for 3 minutes.
• Spoon grits into a serving bowl. Add shrimp mixture and mix well. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Bring water and 2 teaspoons salt to a boil in a heavy saucepan over medium-high heat. Whisk grits into the boiling water, and then whisk in half-and-half. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until grits are thickened and tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Set aside and keep warm.
• Sprinkle shrimp with salt and cayenne pepper to taste. Add lemon juice, toss to combine, and set aside to marinate.
• Place sausage slices in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove sausage from the skillet.
• Add bacon to the same skillet and increase heat to medium-high. Cook until evenly browned, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer bacon to paper towels to drain, then chop or crumble when cool enough to handle. Leave bacon drippings in the skillet.
• Add bell peppers, onion, and garlic to the bacon drippings; cook and stir until onion is translucent, about 8 minutes.
• Stir cooked sausage and marinated shrimp into the skillet with the cooked vegetables. Turn off the heat and set aside.
• Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour, stirring to create a smooth roux. Turn heat to low and cook, stirring constantly, until mixture is golden brown in color, 8 to 10 minutes. Watch carefully, mixture burns easily.
• Pour the roux over the sausage, shrimp, and vegetables. Place the skillet over medium heat, add chicken broth, bacon, and Worcestershire sauce, and stir to combine. Cook until sauce thickens up and shrimp turn opaque and bright pink, about 8 minutes.
• Just before serving, mix sharp Cheddar cheese into grits until melted and grits are creamy and light yellow. Serve shrimp mixture over cheese grits.
