Ever since I made these Shrimp and Grits and fried up grit cakes with the leftovers, I've been wanting to fuse the two. They came out delicious but I felt the extra step of making the grits, cooling them, cutting and then frying them up was too much effort for what it was.
I'd prefer to just make the grits as is and enjoy the leftovers by themselves. Since I made it, I figured I may as well show it. But next time, I won't mess with tradition again!
Grits were cooked with chicken stock. When finished, I grated a 1/2lb. block of smoked extra sharp cheddar, heavy cream and butter.
All melted and combined.
After having a bit for breakfast (I made these the morning of), the rest of the grits where spread out on a cookie sheet and refrigerated.
When it was time to fry the grit cakes. I used a plastic cup and cut out 6 circles. They were lightly dredged in flour and black pepper. Used a pound of shrimp and added blackening seasoning.
Everything went together so quickly that I didn't get pics of the grit cakes being made. Shrimp is finished.
Dinner is served.
Thanks for looking,
Joe
