Shrimp and Asparagus with Cheddar Grits

Scott Phillips

Servings:2-3

This dish is a quick riff on the Southern classic Shrimp and Grits. Don’t skimp on the Worcestershire; mellowed with butter, it makes a simple yet savory sauce for the shrimp and asparagus. For best flavor, use wild-caught shrimp.

Preparation

  • 热1/2汤匙。黄油在一个中等的平底锅ver medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 to 60 seconds. Add the broth and bring to a boil over high heat. While stirring constantly, pour in the grits and 1/4 tsp. salt. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the grits are thickened, 15 to 20 minutes.

Melt the remaining 2-1/2 Tbs. butter into the shrimp and asparagus. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and more hot sauce.

    I made this for my husband who is a shrimp and grits aficioniado. He really, really liked this recipe. I followed the recipe exactly.

    Great recipe and comes together so quickly! My only suggestion would be to make more grits. I was serving two hungry men (and myself) and I could've used more than the suggested amount. It still was a great success and I will definitely be making it again.
