Chef notes
Classic shrimp and grits gets an update with a bite of bite. The combination of fresh ground pepper with the briny feta gives a familiar dish a whole new perspective.
Technique tip: Make sure you're using stone ground grits here; the texture is worth it.
Preparation
1.Put a pot on medium-high heat. In the pot, bring the water, milk and butter to a boil.
2.Add the grits and a dash of salt and reduce the heat so the grits are at a medium simmer. Cover but stir every 2 or 3 minutes. The grits should take about 15 minutes (when cooked at that medium-high heat) but check your particular brand. When the grits are a minute or so from being done, add in the shrimp and feta.
3.Allow the shrimp to come up to temperature and then serve hot.
