Creole Thai Shrimp over Grits w/Bacon Twists

Oct 05 2015

I had some cheesy corny grits left from the other night and some shrimp in the freezer so it was shrimp and grits tonight. I had made my Super Pig bacon twists early and they were perfect to serve with the shrimp and grits.

I have made shrimp and grits a lot so knew the basic ingredients. I always use Penzey’s Cajun seasoning and for this one I decided to add a little Thai red curry paste.  I didn’t want to make it too hot or the wife would not like it.

I did not have bacon for in the shrimp but had the bacon twists to serve with it. I did this outside on my gas burner and used my DeBuyer skillet. Since I was using leftover grits this was a fast and easy meal. The recipe came out pretty good, just a little heat but I could tell I forgot to add a little sour.

Naturally I had to have some good crusty bread with a little butter! We both though my recipe was good!
