Servings: 4

Preparation duration: 5 minutes

Cooking duration: 15 minutes

 

Ingredients:

1/2 cup dry white wine

1 cup grape tomatoes, halved

3/4 cup instant grits

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons grated Parmesan

6 ounces frozen peas (about 1 1/2 cups)

4 scallions, sliced

1 1/4 pounds large peeled, deveined shrimp

5 tablespoons unsalted butter

Equipment:

sauce pan

whisk

frying pan

Cooking instruction summary:

Bring 3 cups of water to a boil in a medium covered saucepan over high heat. Uncover and slowly whisk in the grits, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Reduce the heat to medium low and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in 1 tablespoon of the butter and the Parmesan and season with salt and pepper. Cover to keep warm. Meanwhile, sprinkle the shrimp with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the shrimp in a single layer and cook until the shrimp just start to turn bright pink on the bottom, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the wine and the peas, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are opaque and cooked through and the peas are tender, 2 to 3 minutes (if the pan gets too dry, add water 1 tablespoon at a time). Add the tomatoes and scallions and toss with the shrimp and peas. Add the remaining 4 tablespoons butter and swirl the pan until there's a thick sauce. Serve the grits on a large platter and top with the shrimp, vegetables and butter sauce.

Food Joke

A bakery owner hires a young female clerk who likes to wear very short skirts and thong panties. One day a young man comes into the store, glances at the clerk and glances at the loaves of bread behind the counter. Noticing the length of her skirt and the location of the raisin bread - on the very top shelf - he politely says to the young woman, "I'd like some raisin bread, please." She climbs up a ladder to reach the raisin bread, providing the young man with an excellent view, just as he surmised she would. When she comes down the ladder, he says he really should get two loaves as he is having company for dinner. As the clerk retrieves the second loaf of bread, one of the other male customers notices what is going on. Thinking quickly, he orders a loaf of raisin bread so he can continue to enjoy the view. With each trip up the ladder, the young lady seems to catch the eye of another male customer. Pretty soon, each male customer is asking for raisin bread just to watch the young woman climb up and down. After many trips, she is tired, irritated and thinking she is really going to have to try the raisin bread herself. Once again she is up the ladder retrieving a loaf of raisin bread for another male customer. She stops and fumes, glaring at the men below. She notices an elderly man standing among the crowd of males looking up at her who hasn't placed an order yet. Thinking to save herself another trip up and down the ladder, she yells at the elderly man, "Is yours raisin, too?" "No," croaked the old man, "but it's a quiverin'..."
