Grits are mainly known as ground grain cooked with either hominy or stone-ground corn. The most straightforward method to prepare grits is to boil them in water. However, they can also be filled with extra flavor by cooking them in broth. For creamy grits, you can cook them in milk or half milk half water. Once grits are cooked, they are usually mixed with butter and other ingredients to get many variations.
There are several types of grits you can try including regular, hominy, instant, and stone-ground grits. Let’s check out the in-brief information below -
Quick & Regular Grits: It is the most common type of grit that is quick and easy to prepare. Also, you can add the part of the seed which makes grits a little less nutritious but gives it a longer shelf life and a quicker cook time.
Hominy Grits: It is another most common type of grits that are made from white corn that has been soaked. It can be cooked easily and tastes delicious.
Stone Ground: This type of grit is most popular just because of its delicious taste and creamy texture. Stone Ground Grits are coarsely grounded and retain more nutrients. However, it can take up to an hour to cook. However, you can save your time by considering packaged Stone Ground Grits from Rosella Baked Goods.
Instant: Lastly, it is a type of grit that is pre-cooked and dehydrated. Instant grits are great for a quick breakfast when made in the microwave with a little water or milk.
What To Eat With Grits?
In the southern region of America such as Georgia, Florida, Maryland, etc, Shrimp and Southern Style Grits is a long-standing tradition. You get a wonderful dish that will satisfy the most unsteady hunger. This simple yet stylish recipe can be completed and served in less than one hour. For the full conversational and regretful effect, be sure to serve the dish straight from the jambalaya pot. Let’s check out the recipe below -
Ingredients for Shrimp and Sausage Portion:
- Raw shrimp.
- Smoked link sausage of your preference.
- Large yellow onions. You can also take Vidalia, white or red onions.
- Virgin olive oil
- Salt
- Black pepper
- Seasoning
If you like a kick to your food, use hot sausage. If you have a pallet that prefers a milder touch, use a mild sausage. The combination of the sausage and shrimp in conjunction with cooking in the cast iron jambalaya pot is what gives this dish its unique flavor. I have prepared this dish in many different types of pots and pans. The jambalaya pot adds that extra little something to set this dish apart.
Shrimp & Sausage Preparation and Instructions:
- Thaw and peel the shrimp, then wash and set them aside.
- Slice the smoked sausage into approximately 1/4 inch medallions.
- Peel and dice the onions into very fine pieces.
- Prepare your jambalaya pot. You will need at least a four to five-gallon jambalaya pot for this size recipe.
- Add a generous portion of cooking oil to the pot and add medium-high heat.
- Making sure your oil is hot, add all of the onions.
- Add a couple of dashes of salt and black pepper and saute the onions.
- Continue to saute' until the onions caramelize. You don't want to burn them but the darker the better. A dark onion gives you a richer flavor.
- Add shrimp and stir until all of the shrimp are completely white. If the dish becomes dry add a small amount of water, but not too much. At this point you may add a dash of seasoning but be careful, this dish will be inherently spicy as a result of the style of sausage you chose.
- Add the sausage to the jambalaya pot and stir. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and cover, stirring occasionally to keep from burning.
- Let simmer for approximately 15-20 minutes. Add water as needed to keep the dish from cooking completely down. You do want some juice.
- Remove from heat and prepare to serve.
How To Serve:
- Spoon some grits cooked with a simple Stone Ground Grits Recipe onto your plate, and then make your way to the jambalaya pot.
- Ladle out a generous portion of shrimp and sausage on top of the grits.
- Garnish with the grated pepper jack cheese.
This is one of my favorite dishes to cook in my jambalaya pot. This dish is equally delicious when cooked in a cast-iron Dutch oven, or any other cast iron cookware. This jambalaya pot shrimp can be served with white or brown rice if you do not like grits.
