After watching a recent episode of Master Chef, I was inspired to whip up a batch of shrimp & grits. The end result was so delightful that I thought I'd share it with you all today. Ready? Let's go!
.................................................
What you'll need:
Large/Colossal Shrimp
Tilapia fillets
Instant grits
Green onion (optional)
Shredded Cheese (optional)
Dried Parsley (optional)
Cajun seasoning
Salt/Pepper
Fish Fry Seasoning
Spinach
Garlic
Butter
Lemon
..............................................
- Begin by sprinkling on some cajun seasoning to the fish fillets and and shrimp. Also add salt, pepper and dried parsley. Allow to marinate in the fridge for 30 mins to an hour.
- When the fish and shrimp have had enough time to marinade, prepare the instant grits according to package instructions.
- Bread the tilapia with Fish Fry batter and pan fry in the skillet. Once done, remove and place on paper towel to drain.
- In a new pan, heat and melt butter. Add the seasoned shrimp and cook all the way through.
- Plate shrimp with the fried fish.
- Wash pan and add a little butter and add a small amount of minced garlic. Allow to sauté for a few seconds.
- Add fresh spinach and mix with the butter + garlic.
- Grab a lemon wedge and squeeze fresh lemon to spinach (you can add salt or pepper if you'd like) but the spinach taste great with our without it. Make sure the spinach is mixed well with the garlic, butter and lemon.
Top off the finished plate with some fresh scallion and sprinkle fresh cheese. Voila! Looks like you went to some fancy restaurant from brunch but nope. This was all done by the work of your beautiful hands.
Enjoy.
