CHIPOTLE CHEDDAR SHRIMP & GRITS RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray.
• Place beaten egg in a shallow dish. Reserve the above breadcrumbs and cheddar cheese and mix together the remaining breadcrumbs & cheese in another shallow dish. Dip shrimp in egg and then FRESH TAKE mixture. Throw away any unused cheese mixture. Bake for 15 minutes or until shrimp is cooked -- tender and golden brown.
• Bring 1 3/4 cups of water and salt to a boil in a saucepan. Add grits to the pot along with the reserved breadcrumbs and cheese. Stir constantly, for five minutes. Halfway through, add milk and keep stirring. Add butter, remove from heat and cover for two to three minutes. Stir a few times before serving. (Add more water for even creamier grits.)
• Serve grits in bowls topped with shrimp and garnished with parsley. Optional: top with more cheese!
• Notes: Make it a well-rounded meal by serving it with a salad for dinner.

SHRIMP AND CHEDDAR GRITS

Steps:

• Make the grits: Combine 4 cups water, the bay leaf, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, then gradually add the grits, whisking constantly. Reduce the heat to medium low and cook, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until tender, about 20 minutes. Discard the bay leaf. Stir in the heavy cream, butter and cheese. Remove from the heat; cover to keep warm. If the grits seem too thick, thin with water, 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time.
• Meanwhile, make the shrimp: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook, stirring, until browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the scallion whites, chopped celery and bell pepper and cook, stirring, until just starting to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the shrimp and season with salt. Cook, stirring, until the shrimp are almost cooked through, about 3 minutes.
• Push the shrimp and vegetables to the edge of the skillet. Add the garlic, thyme and tomato paste to the center and cook, undisturbed, until sizzling, 1 minute. Add 1/2 cup water, the lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce and stir everything together. Bring to a simmer and cook until the shrimp are just cooked through and the sauce is slightly reduced, 3 minutes. Add the butter and swirl the pan until melted. Add the parsley, scallion greens and celery leaves and toss. Season with salt. Add more lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon at a time, if needed.
• Divide the grits among 4 shallow bowls. Top with the shrimp mixture.

SHRIMP AND CHEDDAR GRITS

Steps:

CREAMY CHEDDAR GRITS

Steps:

• Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a heavy 4-quart saucepan. Add the salt, then slowly add the grits in a thin, steady stream, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the grits thicken, about 5 to 7 minutes.
• Add the half-and-half and butter to the grits and stir. The mixture will seem thin but it will thicken as it cooks. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Cover the pot, reduce the heat to low, and cook, stirring occasionally for 45 minutes, until very smooth and creamy. Off the heat, stir in the Cheddar, scallions, and pepper. Season to taste and serve hot with a sprinkle of grated cheese and scallions.

Steps:

• Once the grits have cooked, stir in the salt, pepper, cumin, chipotle peppers, green chiles, and 1 cup of Cheddar cheese until the cheese has melted. Pour the grits into the prepared 9x13 inch dish, and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup of Cheddar cheese.
