Ingredients

- 3 Jumbo Shrimp raw, thawed, shell removed (1 per plate)
- 2 TBSP Cajun Seasoning
- ½ TBSP Red Pepper
- 1/2 Lb. Chorizo Sausage
- 1 Bunch Scallions
- 1 Clove Garlic
- 2 TBSP Vegetable Oil
- 1/4 Cup Chicken Stock
- 1 Cup Quick Grits
- 4 Cups Water
- 3 TBSP Butter
- ¼ Cup Cream
- ½ Cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese
- Parsley garnish
- Salt & Pepper
Instructions
Grits:
- Bring 4 cups water to a boil. Add quick grits to water and reduce to medium heat. Continuously mix for several minutes until water is absorbed and grits become thick and creamy looking. About 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and add cream, 2 TBL butter & shredded cheese.
- Mix all ingredients evenly. Season with salt & pepper. Cover and set aside
Shrimp & Sauce:
- Cut chorizo in half lengthwise and cut into ¼” slices. Roughly chop red pepper and garlic. Slice scallions.
- Heat a medium saucepan to medium heat. Add chorizo and allow the fat to render and slowly cook. After about 5 minutes once some fat has melted off the chorizo, remove the pieces from the pan. Set it aside.
- Season shrimp on both side with Cajun seasoning.
- Turn heat up to medium-high. Once hot, add the shrimp in a single layer flat. After about 1 minute (or once shrimp starts to turn pink), flip shrimp over and cook evenly on both sides. Once fully cooked, remove shrimp from pan. Set it aside.
- Add vegetable oil to the same pan. Add the red pepper. Cook for 3-5 minutes until red peppers are tender. Add the garlic and 2 TBL of sliced scallions. Cook an additional 2 minutes until garlic is tender.
- Add chicken stock and 1 TBL butter to the pan. Set to medium-low and allow to reduce slightly. Add back in the chorizo.
- Bring a separate pot of water to a boil. Cook Ravioli per instructions (about 3-4 minutes). Add the ravioli to the same pan as the chorizo and pepper. Simmer for about a minute. Turn off heat.
- To plate: Scoop ½ cup of grits onto plate. Plate 3 or so ravioli over grits. Spoon the chorizo and pepper mixture over the top. Top with a shrimp garnish with parsley and more scallions.
Notes
- Use your favorite Cajun seasoning or make your own. Simple Cajun seasoning:
- 3 TBL Paprika, 2 TBL Salt & garlic powder, 1 TBL each: black pepper, white pepper, onion powder, dried oregano, cayenne, ½ TBL dried thyme.
- This can be a cost savings and a different twist on Shrimp & Grits.
