Shrimp and Grit

[Johnny Ray]

Tonight my wife and I made shrimp and grits. One of my favorite dishes.
I cooked my stone ground grits per package instructions. Once done I added in a bit of habanero cheese and a generous portion of aged extra sharp Vermont White Cheddar cheese.
While the grits were simmering I seared off my shrimp seasoned with blackening season in bacon grease.
My wife made a pan sauce with chicken broth, garlic, white wine, lemon juice and butter. She usually adds in capers but we were out so she diced up some peppadews and threw them in at the end.
I poured my grits into my shrimp and grits bowls, added the shrimp, crumbled bacon and poured the pan sauce over the dish.

Let me tell you... when I took my first bite I heard the angels in Heaven singing.
Perfect amount of acidity from the lemon juice and peppadews and a bit of heat from the habanero cheese and blackening season. The crisp bacon added the textural crunch the dish needed.
All in all a wonderful dinner and the best part I got to enjoy it with my best friend.

Thanks for looking. Take care God Bless and stay healthy.
