Shrimp and Grits Recipe


INGREDIENTS – Grits
2 cups water
2 cups milk
1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
2 cloves garlic – finely diced
3 tablespoons butter
1 cup grits (not instant, we recommend stone ground)

INGREDIENTS - Shrimp
3 tablespoons butter
4 slices of bacon, finely diced
4 cloves garlic diced
1 large onion diced
1 tablespoon flour
1 pound Shrimp
3/4 cup water
1/2 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
2 teaspoons seafood or vegetable bouillon

Directions

Heat the water, milk, old bay, garlic, and butter in a medium saucepan until right before boiling. Add grits and cook for 6-8 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a separate skillet or wok, melt the butter and sauté the bacon, garlic, and onion.

When the garlic and onion are lightly browned and transparent, add flour to make a basic roux. Stir until fully mixed.

Add shrimp and 1/4 cup water, cover and simmer. When shrimp are partially cooked, add the remainder of the water, Old Bay, and bouillon.

Allow to continue to simmer until gravy thickens.

Serve 3/4 cup cooked grits in a bowl and cover with Shrimp in gravy.
