We use the city grocery recipe. It has turned into a Christmas brunch tradition

There are many renditions of shrimp and grits. Some of red eye gravy based, have andouille, tasso or bacon. Some are cream based and some are tomato based. Sort of depends on your cravings at the time.

I have a very easy tomato based recipe in the recipe book. Better if you make it ahead of time. I use stone ground grits, usually. Its easy to change it up for flavors you like. You can add a pork product to it, as well and you can also reduce the sauce and add some cream to it if you like. This particular version is very good when it's cold outside.

If you want something a little different, try this - Shrimp Georgie Porgie w/grits. This is a favorite in my family. Sometimes we peel the shrimp and just leave the tails on... The prep is easy except for peeling the garlic.



Ingredients
1/2 cup olive oil, divided
45 garlic cloves, peeled (about 4 heads - not a typo)
3 pounds unpeeled, large fresh shrimp
1/4 cup butter, melted
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon liquid shrimp-and-crab boil seasoning
2 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons ground red pepper
3/4 teaspoon dried oregano
3/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
3 bay leaves

Preparation
Combine 1/4 cup oil and garlic in a 13- x 9-inch baking dish. Bake at 350° for 30 minutes or until garlic is lightly browned.

Meanwhile, combine remaining 1/4 cup olive oil, shrimp, and next 8 ingredients in a large zip-top freezer bag; seal and shake to coat. Add shrimp mixture and bay leaves to baking dish, and toss to coat. Bake 20 more minutes or until shrimp turn pink, stirring once. Serve with grits.

I use my gumbo recipe as my sauce base but reduce it down and thicken it a bit. I like a brown gravy as opposed to red or cream based because I use cream in my grits. Chicken stock and heavy cream along with cheese are a must for the grits. I did use a mushroom, spinach, and bacon cream based recipe a couple weekends ago that people loved.

Hard to go wrong with it as long as it has flavor and grits. I love having leftover bbq shrimp and sauce. I peel the shrimp and reheat the sauce. I add the shrimp last minute so they just rewarm without overcooking and serve it all over grits. So darn good.

I like Luke's version of shrimp and grits with poached eggs on top. I want that right now, as a matter of fact.
