Categories     main-dish

Time 2h25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 32

30 jumbo (U-15) shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails on
1/2 cup Cajun blackening spice, plus additional for dusting
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
Roasted Corn Emulsion, recipe follows, hot
Fried Green Tomatoes, recipe follows
Stone Ground Bacon Grits, recipe follows, hot
1 small tomato, diced
1 tablespoon fresh chives, diced
3 ears corn on the cob, husked
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper
1 tablespoon shrimp base
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon fresh chives, diced
2 cups yellow cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons Cajun spice
1 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup honey
4 green tomatoes
Canola oil, for frying
Kosher salt
8 to 10 slices applewood-smoked bacon, diced
3/4 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup whole milk
3/4 cup stone-ground grits
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons mascarpone

Steps:

  • Toss shrimp in Cajun spice in a large bowl to coat.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Heat butter and olive oil in a pan, then add shrimp. Cook until shrimp curls and turns pink, 1 to 2 minutes on each side (see Cook's Note).
  • Ladle 1/4 cup Roasted Corn Emulsion on bottom of a plate. Place 3 hot Fried Green Tomato Slices side by side, on top. Add small scoops of Stone Ground Bacon Grits on each Fried Green Tomato slice. Place a shrimp on each of the stacks.
  • Sprinkle diced tomato and chives on top. Then, dust with more Cajun spice and serve.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Rub corn cobs with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Place on a sheet tray and roast until cooked and lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Once cooled, cut corn off of the cobs and set aside, saving the cobs.
  • Combine shrimp base, 4 cups water and cobs in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and cook until liquid is reduced by half, then remove cobs and discard. Add heavy cream to the pot and bring to a simmer.
  • Meanwhile, melt butter in a separate small pan over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook, whisking, until it becomes the consistency of wet sand, 3 to 4 minutes, to create a roux. Remove from heat. Once the cream is simmering, whisk in the roux mixture. Reduce heat, and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened.
  • Add corn, chives and salt and pepper to taste. Stir until combined, then serve hot.
  • Combine cornmeal, flour, sugar and Cajun spice in a large bowl to create a breading mixture.
  • Combine buttermilk and honey in another large bowl and whisk until combined.
  • Slice green tomatoes about 1/4-inch thick, roughly 4 to 5 slices per tomato. Place tomato slices in the honey-buttermilk mixture and gently toss to coat.
  • Place each green tomato slice in the breading mixture, and coat both sides well. Set breaded tomatoes aside and save any remaining breading.
  • Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, to prepare for frying.
  • Re-bread green tomato slices in the remaining breading mixture, then place in the skillet and fry until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
  • Remove fried green tomato slices from oil and place on a paper towel to absorb any remaining grease. Sprinkle with salt to taste, then serve hot.
  • Cook the bacon in a large pot over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until browned.
  • Add heavy cream, whole milk and 1 1/4 cups water to the pot and bring to a simmer. Stir in the grits with a wire whisk, making sure there are no lumps.
  • Bring back to a simmer, then lower heat. Season with salt and pepper, and let simmer, stirring occasionally to ensure that no lumps form and the bottom does not burn, until grits are fully cooked, 20 to 25 minutes (see Cook's Note). Remove pot from heat.
  • Whisk in mascarpone until well combined, and add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve hot or refrigerate up to 4 days.

UNFRIED GREEN TOMATOES



Unfried Green Tomatoes image

This recipe from Cooking Light is the perfect healthy twist on one of my favorite southern side dishes. Now I can get my "fix" without the added oil. The Fresh Tomato Gravy (1/3 cup per serving) can also be used on baked chicken, pork or fish.

  • Slice green tomatoes 3/4 inch thick. Place in a shallow pan and pour buttermilk over the tomatoes. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding a little lemon juice to milk, half and half or heavy cream. Cover and refrigerate for 15-30 minutes.
  • In another shallow pan mix the all-purpose flour and semolina flour with the salt and pepper. Stir with a fork to mix well.
  • Add canola oil 3/4 inch deep in a non-stick frying pan. Heat over medium heat. Remove the tomato slices from the buttermilk and dredge in the flour mixture. Place the coated slices in the hot pan. You should hear it sizzle. The trick is to not let them get too brown on the outside before the inside gets cooked. Adjust the heat accordingly. Flip over and fry the other side until gold brown. Remove from pan and drain on paper towels. The tomatoes can be kept warm in a 250 degree oven until ready to use.
