“Pretty and Delicious Creations”
Recipe by Chef Huda
Garlic Shrimp
1 pound large or jumbo shrimp-peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons of garlic-minced
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Brown Butter Sauce
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 fresh scallions-thinly sliced
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Aged Cheddar Grits
1 cup grits-quick cooking
3/4 cup grated aged sharp cheddar cheese-grated
1/2 cup 2% low-fat milk
2 cup water
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Let’s make something “Pretty and Delicious”!
First start with your aged cheddar grits. Follow the direction on the package of quick cooking grits. Stir in cheese, salt, pepper and finish with butter. Stir until creamy. Remove from heat when done.
Chef Huda Cooking Tip: When making grits stir frequently to insure smooth and creamy grits.
Now for your Garlic Shrimp and Brown butter sauce. Place a large skillet over medium high heat, add in oil and garlic. In a separate bowl toss shrimp with salt and pepper. Add shrimp to pan and cook for less than 1 minute on each side until the shrimp begin to turn pink and are opaque in the middle.
Chef Huda’s Cooking Tip: Do not over cook the shrimp they will turn pink and begin to curl when they are done.
Once the shrimp are done, remove from pan and set aside. Add in butter, scallions and cracked black pepper and stir. Lets cook until butter begin to turn brown.
Now, let’s plate something Pretty and Delicious. Spoon creamy Aged cheddar grits on to plate or bowl then stack garlic shrimp on top and spoon Brown Butter Sauce over shrimp.
Chef Huda’s Healthy Food Tip: Grits are a traditional Native American dish made from ground dried hominy which is produced from coarsely ground and treated corn. Grits are good source of iron, folic acid, fiber and minerals and are low in fat when consumed plain.
