Sher Castellano came up with a few tweaks to improve this dish's nutritional profile in her Bobby Flay's shrimp and grits with a twist.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1/2 cup minced onion
  • 4 cups water
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 cup stone-ground cornmeal
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled and de-veined
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Directions

  1. 1

    Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in pan and sauté onions on low until just about caramelized. (This could take up to 45 minutes, but you can just sauté for 5 minutes if you prefer.)

  2. 2

    Add the water, salt, and pepper to the pan and bring to a boil. Then add in cornmeal and cook, stirring frequently, until water is absorbed, about 20 to 25 minutes.

  3. 3

    Remove from heat and stir in butter and Parmesan, then pour into bowl and set aside.

  4. 4

    Wipe out the pan and then heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-low heat. Add in shrimp and cook until they turn pink. Add lemon juice and parsley and cook shrimp 1 minute longer.

  5. 5

    Spoon the shrimp over the grits and garnish with black pepper and additional chopped parsley, if desired.
