In the South, everyone loves three things: bacon, cheese and grits! After playing around with this recipe, I took it to my first family party as a newlywed, and it was a huge hit. This recipe has become a family tradition that I'm sure will be passed down for generations. -Melissa Rogers, Tuscaloosa, Alabama

Cajun Beef And Grits Recipe by Tasty image

Steps:

  • Make the beef: Season the beef with 2 teaspoons of salt.
  • Heat the oil in an Instant Pot on "Sauté" mode. Add the beef and sear on all sides, using tongs to turn the meat, 7-9 minutes total. Remove the beef from the Instant Pot and set aside.
  • Add the bell pepper, onion, celery, and garlic to the Instant Pot and sauté for 5 minutes, until softened. Stir in the tomatoes, tomato paste, Frank's RedHot® Original Cayenne Pepper Hot Sauce, McCormick Cajun Seasoning, and the remaining teaspoon of salt.
  • Return the beef to the Instant Pot and stir well. Put the lid on the Instant Pot, set the pressure valve to "Sealing," and pressure-cook for 50 minutes.
  • Turn the pressure valve to "Venting" to release the pressure quickly. (Be sure to read all Instant Pot instructions carefully for safety.) Carefully remove the lid.
  • Remove the beef mixture from the Instant Pot and set aside. Clean the Instant Pot insert.
  • Make the grits: Generously coat the Instant Pot insert with nonstick spray. Add the butter and melt on "Sauté" mode. Add the grits and cook, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes, until fragrant. Whisk in the milk, water, and salt. Bring mixture to a simmer, then whisk well.
  • Put the lid on the Instant Pot, set the pressure valve to "Sealing," and pressure-cook for 10 minutes.
  • Let pressure naturally release for 15 minutes, then turn the pressure valve to "Venting" to release the rest of the pressure. Carefully remove the lid.
  • Carefully hold the Instant Pot with an oven mitt and use a silicone spatula or wooden spoon to move the grits around and release from the bottom of the pot, then whisk well to incorporate.
  • Stir in the cheddar cheese. Let cheese melt for 1 minute, then stir again. (If the grits get too thick before serving, stir in a bit of milk to loosen.)
  • To serve, spoon the grits into shallow bowls. Scoop the beef mixture on top. Drizzle with Frank's RedHot® and garnish with the scallions.
  • Enjoy!

Shrimp And Grits Recipe by Tasty image

Steps:

  • Make the grits: Bring the chicken stock to a boil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the grits and cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has been completely absorbed, about 6 minutes.
  • Whisk in the cream, butter, and cheddar cheese until melted and fully incorporated. Stir in the corn, salt, and Cajun seasoning. Remove the pot from the heat and cover to keep the grits warm while you make the shrimp.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the andouille sausage and cook until it begins to brown and crisp around the edges, about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the sausage to a plate and set aside, leaving the rendered sausage fat in the pan.
  • Add garlic and shallot to the pan and cook until toasted and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the shrimp and cook until pink and opaque, about 4 minutes. Stir in the sausage, roasted red peppers, and scallions, then remove the pan from the heat.
  • Spoon the shrimp over the grits and garnish with parsley.
  • Enjoy!
