Awesome Buttery Grits With Corn Recipes

CREAMY GRITS FROM SCRATCH

Steps:

• In a medium heavy saucepan, combine the water and milk and bring it to a boil (keep an eye on the pot, as the milk can boil over!). Season the liquid generously with salt, then whisk in the grits. Bring the mixture back to a boil while whisking. Continue whisking for 2-3 minutes, or until the grits are slightly thickened (the mixture will still be quite liquidy, and that's okay).
• Reduce the heat to low and partially cover the saucepan (there should be a small crack so that some steam can escape). Cook, stirring often with a rubber spatula, until the grits are tender and thickened, about 30-40 minutes (they should feel soft on the tongue, not gritty). Feel free to splash in more milk as needed while cooking if the grits start to look really thick-they should be creamy and should swirl easily. Stir in the butter. Season the grits generously with salt (this is key for flavor-you will need more than you think!).
• Remove the saucepan from the heat and cover it until you're ready to serve, up to 30 minutes. If you want to hold the grits for longer, drizzle a bit of milk over the surface before covering (this will help prevent a skin from forming)-they can sit out for up to 1 hour. Before serving, reheat the grits over low, stirring and adding more milk if needed.

GARLIC BUTTER SHRIMP AND GRITS

Steps:

• Cook grits according to package instructions using chicken stock and milk in place of water; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Stir in 1 tablespoon butter until melted, about 1 minute; set aside and keep warm. Melt remaining 7 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shallot, and cook, stirring frequently, until translucent, about 2 minutes. Stir in garlic, thyme and paprika until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in white wine and Worcestershire. Add shrimp; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally, until pink and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons parsley and lemon juice. Serve immediately with grits, garnished with remaining 1 tablespoon parsley; if desired.

BREAKFAST GRITS

MARIE CALLENDER'S CORNBREAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease the bottoms and sides of 2 (8-inch) pans generously with butter.
• In a large bowl, sift together the Bisquick, sugar, and baking powder. Add the cornmeal and whisk to combine.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and melted butter.
• Pour the egg mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Whisk it together just until combined. Lumps are okay.
• Pour the batter into the greased pans. Bake the cornbread for 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Let the cornbread cool slightly on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Slice it into squares, serve, and enjoy!
