Ingredients
4 cups water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup quick-cooking grits or polenta
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
32 medium shrimp , peeled and deveined
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon flour
1 1/4 cups chicken broth
2 medium cloves garlic, minced
5 scallions, white and light green parts finely chopped
1 tablespoon juice from 1 lemon
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
5 ounces baby spinach
Directions
In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add salt, then grits and cook, stirring frequently, until thick, about 10 minutes. Stir in cheese. Keep warm. In a large saucepan, heat olive oil over medium high heat until shimmering. Season shrimp with salt and pepper, add to pan, and saute until cooked through, about 1 minute per side. Remove shrimp with a slotted spoon and set aside. Whisk flour into pan and cook, stirring constantly, until pale golden, about 1 minute. Whisk in chicken broth, garlic, scallions, salt, pepper, and hot sauce. Cook until slightly reduced, about 3 minutes. Add shrimp and spinach to pan and cook until spinach is wilted. Place grits on every plate and top with shrimp, spinach, and sauce.
