This recipe for creamy, cheesy grits topped with marinated shrimp hails from heralded, no-frills Miami eatery Bulldog Barbecue, owned by Chef Howie Kleinberg. This recipe for two is easy to make, fancy-looking, and incredibly delicious.
Servings: 2
Ingredients
1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
3 ounces olive oil, divided
1 ounce Bulldog's Best Barbecue Sauce, or store-bought
2 ounces garlic, chopped and divided
2 ounces shallots, chopped and divided
1 cup chicken stock
1 cup hominy grits
2 ounces white wine
4 ounces tomatoes, diced
1 ounce heavy cream
1 ounce butter
3 ounces white cheddar cheese
1 ounce parsley, chopped
4 ounces scallions, sliced (to garnish)
Directions:
- Combine shrimp with BBQ sauce and 1½ oz. olive oil. Set aside to marinate for four hours.
