Fajita Style Shrimp And Grits Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Add skirt steak to the hot grill and cook for 3 minutes per side. Remove steak from the grill and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Skewer shrimp, and cook for 1 minute per side. Remove from the grill.
• Cut onion into 1/2-inch-thick layers, keeping the rings together. Place onion layers and bell peppers onto the grill and allow to to char slightly, about 2 minutes per side. Remove onions and peppers and roughly chop. Wrap tortillas in foil and warm on the grill, about 3 minutes.
• Slice steak into strips and remove shrimp from the skewers. Assemble fajitas with steak, shrimp, onion, and bell peppers.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, bring the broth, milk, butter, salt and pepper to a boil. Slowly stir in grits. Reduce heat. Cover and cook for 12-14 minutes or until thickened, stirring occasionally. Stir in cheese until melted. Set aside and keep warm., In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove to paper towels with a slotted spoon; drain, reserving 4 teaspoons drippings. Saute the shrimp, garlic and seasoning in drippings until shrimp turn pink. Serve with grits and sprinkle with onions.

Steps:

• In a medium skillet over low heat, cook the bacon, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate, reserving the bacon fat in the pan. Add enough peanut oil to the bacon fat to amount to 1 1/2 tablespoons if necessary. Reserve the skillet and fat. In a medium bowl, toss the shrimp with the flour until lightly coated.
• Heat the fat in the reserved skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook until they begin to turn pink, about 1 minute. Stir in the mushrooms and reserved bacon and cook 1 minute. Stir in the garlic (do not let brown) and cook about 30 seconds. Remove from the heat and stir in the scallions, lemon juice and hot sauce. Serve immediately over grits.

Steps:

• For the grits: Bring 3 cups of the stock to a boil in a medium saucepan. Slowly stir in the grits. Return to a boil and cook over a medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes. Turn down the heat to low and stir in the pepper jack, queso blanco and crema. Cook for another 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the butter and keep warm.
• Heat the remaining 2 cups chicken stock in a separate pan.
• For the shrimp: Meanwhile, add the butter and olive oil to a large skillet over a medium-high heat. Sprinkle the shrimp with the taco seasoning and a pinch of salt and pepper. Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook until they begin to turn pink, 1 to 2 minutes on each side, then remove and set aside. (The shrimp will finish cooking later in the sauce.)
• Add the chorizo to the skillet and break it up with a spatula. Add the onion and all the peppers to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Continue cooking until the chorizo is cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook for an additional minute. Stir in the hot stock and hot sauce to taste. Return the shrimp to the skillet with their juices. Cook until the shrimp are cooked through, an additional 2 minutes. Add the lime juice. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
• To serve, spoon the shrimp and sauce over the grits and garnish with the cilantro.
