literalpsychotroll: Damn that looks good. I’d try it over rice. I liked the garlic trick with the fork, ive never seen that before.
TheLadyEve: Recipe from: Tasty
I just saw this dish prepared on tonight’s *Top Chef* and I thought it would be a good fit for here–but be warned, I have not made it yet, so unlike the other recipes I’ve posted here I can’t vouch for it.
**Ingredients**
for 6 servings
Grits
4 cups chicken stock
4 cups whole milk
½ cup butter
2 teaspoons salt
2 cups cornmeal
Pepper Pot Shrimp
2 tablespoons oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 yellow bell pepper, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
½ large red onion, diced
½ scotch bonnet pepper
12 spears okra, chopped
1 large tomato, diced
½ cup chicken stock
2 tablespoons jerk seasoning
10 jumbo shrimps, peeled and deveined
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon sugar
2 bunches italian parsley, chopped to serve
**Preparation**
1. In a heavy pot, add the chicken stock, butter, and milk, and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Gradually add in the grits a little at a time, stirring until creamy. Remove from the heat.
2. Add oil to a large pan over medium-high heat.
3. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the garlic and cook until aromatic, about 30 seconds.
4. Add in the red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, green bell pepper, red onion, and Scotch bonnet pepper, and cook until onions are translucent.
5. Add in the okra and cook for 1 minute.
6. Add in the diced tomatoes and juices, jerk spice, and chicken stock, and simmer on low heat for 10 minutes.
7. Season the stew with salt, pepper and sugar.
8. Place shrimp on top of the okra stew. After two minutes, flip the shrimp and cook for 1-2 minutes, until cooked through. Sprinkle the stew with chopped parsley.
9. Serve the shrimp stew over the grits.
10. Enjoy!
If you are wondering “what the hell is jerk sauce” [here is a guide to making some](https://www.islands.com/best-jamaican-jerk-sauce), or you can use a commercial jerk spice blend with a little soy sauce and brown sugar added and that will do.
scrubasorous: God damn that looks good 👍
MooseManOfWar: what is jerk sauce? Im from South Africa so not too familiar with some of the stuff he uses
evileine: Was that salt water that he used for soaking the okra? I was wondering whether he did that to improve the texture. Does anybody know?
LadenGray: I think I like how he cooks even more than what he cooks
motownphilly1: This looks amazing! Would like more stuff like this as opposed to cheese on cheese on cheese. Beggars can’t be choosers though I guess.
2tehmax: Although this was clearly marketing material, I approve because it was so soothing to watch. I could tell by the amount of salt alone that this guy knows what he’s doing.
