Shrimp and Goat Cheese Grits

Spicy Shrimp & Goat Cheese Grits - Inspired by Tupelo Honey Café

Alison Needham
This recipe is fast, easy and arguably the best shrimp and grits around. The goat cheese added to the grits not only lends a fabulous, creamy texture, but also amazing flavor. When I make this for the kids, I cut back on the cayenne spice a bit in the seasoning.

For the Shrimp

For the Creole Spice

For the Goat Cheese Grits

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the creole spice and set aside. You will have some leftover and it's good for seasoning almost anything really.
  • Make the grits. Heat the water and salt in a medium sauce pan until boiling. Add the grits, reduce heat and simmer until grits are tender, about 5 minutes. Whisk in the butter, cream and goat cheese. Continue to whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Stir in the basil and remove from heat. Cover to keep warm.
  • Make the shrimp. Heat the olive oil in large skillet over medium high heat. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring frequently, for 4 minutes or until the shrimp begin to just turn opaque. Add the garlic, roasted red peppers and creole spice and cook for 2 minutes more. Stir in the wine and butter and simmer for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Spoon the grits into four bowls. Top evenly with the shrimp and the sauce in the pan. Garnish with additional basil if desired.
