Cheese Grits Square Shrimp

Jun 9, 2021 · Leave a Comment

Anna’s favorite food is shrimp and grits.  If we are at a restaurant and they have shrimp and grits on the menu, Anna is going to get it.

We can easily cook a pot of gooey cheesy grits and top with some perfectly cooked shrimp (sous vide is my favorite way to cook them), but we were looking for a better way to serve shrimp and grits to a crowd - an appetizer/game day food.  We have been making some amazing coconut shrimp/fish cakes, so we decided to tweak that recipe a little and came up with these.

kinda like Spongebob Squarepants, right?

Addendum: we made these once at an eggfest   Anna was really proud of them, so she was talking them up a bit.  One gentleman was particularly interested in them, so he was waiting for them to finish.  Anna gave him a cube with a smile and he walked away with it to enjoy it.  We watched him take a bite…and spit it into the garbage!!  Hahahah  it broke Anna’s heart and I couldn’t stop laughing   The flavor is great on these, but the soft grits on the inside may feel like they are undercooked…not something you want with shrimp, I suppose.  The man spitting these into the trash can is still a running joke between us, and I still love these things!  Lol  (Sorry Anna!)
