- 3 Jumbo Shrimp raw thawed, shell removed (1 per plate)
- 2 TBL Cajun Seasoning
- ½ TBL Red Pepper
- 1/2 lb Chorizo Sausage
- 1 bunch Scallions
- 1 Clove Garlic
- 2 TBL Vegetable Oil
- 1/4 Cup Chicken Stock
- 1 Cup Quick Grits
- 4 Cups Water
- 3 TBL Butter
- ¼ Cup Cream
- ½ Cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese
- Parsley garnish
- Salt & Pepper
Instructions
Grits:
- Bring 4 cups water to 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 creaming 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 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 a heavy 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.
