Ingredients
Grits:
-
3 ½ cups chicken stock
-
¾ cup old fashioned grits
-
¼ cup heavy cream, plus more as needed
-
1 cup shredded smoked Gouda cheese, or more to taste
-
¼ cup butter
Shrimp Sauce:
-
8 slices bacon, chopped
-
1 tablespoon minced shallot
-
1 tablespoon minced garlic
-
1 splash white wine
-
3 tablespoons butter
-
1 pound jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
-
2 cups chopped spinach
-
1 cup chopped portobello mushrooms
-
¼ cup sliced green onions
-
2 cups heavy cream
-
1 dash hot pepper sauce, or to taste
-
salt and ground black pepper to taste
Directions
-
Prepare the grits: Bring chicken stock to a boil in a saucepan over high heat.
-
Slowly pour grits into stock while stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low; simmer until grits are tender and thick, 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
-
Stir in heavy cream to thin out the grits. Stir in Gouda cheese and butter until melted and smooth.
-
While grits are cooking, make the shrimp sauce: Place bacon in a large, deep skillet over medium heat; cook until bacon fat is rendered, about 3 minutes.
-
Stir in shallot and garlic; cooking and stirring until shallots are tender, about 5 minutes.
-
Pour in white wine and stir in butter, cooking and stirring until butter has melted.
-
Drop shrimp in the skillet; cook and stir until they are bright pink on the outside and the meat is no longer transparent in the center, about 3 minutes.
-
Stir in spinach, mushrooms, and green onions; cook and stir until the spinach wilts, about 2 minutes more.
-
Remove shrimp with a slotted spoon.
-
Stir in heavy cream to the sauce. Simmer until the cream is reduced by about a third, about 10 minutes. Season with hot sauce, salt, and pepper. Return shrimp to the skillet to heat through.
-
Serve shrimp with sauce over the prepared grits.
