Bring the comforts of the South into your kitchen with this great shrimp and grits recipe. Our shrimp and grits recipe is a delicious brunch recipe the entire family will love.
In a large saucepan, bring the water and
pinch of salt to a boil. When boiling, slowly stir in the grits.
Reduce heat to low and simmer until the
grits are smooth and tender (about 20 minutes), stirring frequently. When
finished, set aside and keep warm.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over
medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the ham and cook over medium-high
heat until crisp. Then, stir in the onion and green pepper. Cook until the
onion is translucent (about 4 minutes).
Add the shrimp to the onions and bell
pepper. Cook over medium-high heat until the shrimp turns pink (about 45
seconds). Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.
Add the white wine to the skillet, stirring
to dissolve any brown bits on the bottom of the skillet. Slowly stir in the
cream. Then, reduce the heat to low. Simmer the cream sauce until thickened
(about 10 minutes). Then, season with salt and pepper to taste.
To serve, divide the grits into two
portions. Line the edge of each plate with shrimp and top with the cream sauce.
