Boatwright's Traditional Shrimp and Grits Recipe

[Humphrey_Bear]

Hello Everyone,
We just got back from an amazing trip. One of our food highlights was the "Traditional" version of shrimp and grits - it was fabulous!!!
We asked the server and she said there was chorizo and white wine - but I was in such a food haze, I never thought to ask for the actual recipe itself. Would anyone have it? Or know whom I could contact to get it? I would assume someone at Boatwright's itself?
Thanks!

Have you checked the Cooking board farther down in the Just For Fun section:

Also, allears has an extensive recipe section.

You can also contact guest relations and request the recipe. While they don't have all the recipes, we've had luck getting some of our requests.

Huh, that isn't an easy recipe to find. I haven't had it, but I imagine someone in my family will fall on the sword on our next trip.

I make this at home, with some tweaks, and it's delicious. If you find the Boatwright's one will you post it? I'd love to try their version.

You may be tempted to bypass the separate cooking of the ingredients but I encourage you to do it as directed because it builds the fond, which is where your flavor is! I've used quick cooking grits and they come out very creamy when you let them cook for the 45-60 min. Add 6-8 oz of a strong cheddar (Dubliner Irish Cheddar is excellent) or gruyere and parmesan after taking the grits off the heat. Taste and add more cheese if you think it needs it. A good BBQ rub can be used in place of his blend. Also, if you've shelled the shrimp, use the shells to make shrimp stock and use it in place of the chicken stock. That's what I always do.
