Shrimp
I'm still on the hunt for a great shrimp and grits recipe, I'll have to try this.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I recreated one of his dishes I had at Mesa grill and it was fabulous. Check it out here http://www.kaceyskitchen.com/2010/02/sweet-potato-chicken-hash-with-poached.html
I have used this recipe with one substitution: I used basil instead of parsley.
ReplyDeleteNo matter how many people I cook this for there is never enough. If you are looking for a great recipe for shrimp and grits (not just 6 shrimp on top of a bowl of grits) this is the one. Also 5min grits work just as well as the stone ground. You know its good when people email you asking how you made it.
