Shem Creek Shrimp and Grits Recipe Video

Live from Charleston, South Carolina! Our version of The (not so) Deadliest Catch. Join my daughter Bailey and me onboard the 68-foot shrimp trawler 'Winds of Fortune' with Captain Wayne Magwood (from 'Dirty Jobs') as we catch shrimp for a classic Charleston dish - shrimp and grits.

Ingredients

 
1 large sweet onion, chopped
 
4 - 5 cloves garlic, minced
 
5 - 6 strips turkey (or regular) bacon, diced
 
4 medium tomatoes, diced
 
1 1/2 cups white wine
 
3 tablespoons tomato paste
 
3 lbs. medium-large shrimp, cleaned, peeled and deveined
 
Grits (or polenta)
 
1/2 cup grated sharp white Cheddar cheese

Directions

In a large pot, saute onion in a little olive oil until translucent. Add garlic and bacon and cook until bacon is crispy. Then add tomatoes, white wine and tomato paste. Bring to a boil, lower heat and let simmer 5 - 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, make enough grits according to package directions, for 8 servings.

Add shrimp to tomato-onion mixture and let cook about 3 - 5 minutes, stirring, until pink.

Stir cheese into hot grits until melted.

To serve, put a mound of grits on a plate, top with shrimp and sauce and add more cheese if desired.
