Chef Johns Shrimp and Grits

Shrimp and grits is a very simple recipe, but make sure you have everything ready before you start cooking the shrimp. They only take a few minutes to sauté, so you don’t have time to run and chop scallions or juice a lemon. Once everything is assembled, this recipe is a snap. To make things even easier, you can make the grits a bit ahead since they stay hot a very long time.

Step: 1

Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until almost crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer bacon to a dish, leaving drippings in the skillet.

Step: 2

Whisk 1/4 cup water, cream, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce together in a bowl.

Step: 3

Stir 4 cups water, butter, and 1 teaspoon salt together in a pot; bring to a boil. Whisk grits into pot, bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and cook until grits are creamy, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from heat and stir white Cheddar cheese into grits.

Step: 4

Place shrimp in a large bowl and season with Cajun seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon salt, black pepper, and a pinch of cayenne pepper.

Step: 5

Heat skillet with bacon drippings over high heat. Cook shrimp in hot bacon fat in a single layer for 1 minute. Turn shrimp and add jalapeno; cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir cream mixture, bacon, green onion, and garlic to shrimp mixture; cook and stir, adding water as necessary to thin the sauce, until shrimp are cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in parsley.

Step: 6

Ladle grits into a bowl and top with shrimp and sauce.

Eating good breakfast to start the day had become a good habit. It’s a fabolous way to start my day off healthfully. The sweet hit from the fruit wakes me up and gives me power to make on the morning. The sweetness is often vilified as the root of all disease, but fruit is also loaded with fibre, which is great for your stomach system and helps keep you feeling full all day , and less likely grab a snack out of the vending machine before break .

Make fruit a at 7.00 clock habit is simple . Simply put the fruit in your refrigerator next to the sweet drink or on the bench next to your grain pan , or beside your coffee maker or tea kettle — somewhere where you’ll find it. Before you eat the rest of your food , eat your fruit. If you’re not normally a breakfast person.
