Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the butter. Once the butter has melted, whisk continuously while you add in the flour, pepper, salt, and garlic powder. Once it has reached a smooth and uniform consistency, remove the skillet from the heat and let it rest for 10 minutes.

Return the skillet to the stove, and heat over medium heat. Slowly pour in the milk while whisking continuously. Let the gravy cook until it has thickened, stirring occasionally (about 5 minutes).

Taste and adjust seasonings.             

Spicy, creamy Cajun shrimp and grits is an easy savory meal, great for Sunday brunch or a quick weeknight dinner! Use andouille sausage or tasso ham for the traditional Cajun flavor, then add shredded white cheddar to make the grits extra cheesy. Southern comfort food ready in a flash!

Cajun Shrimp and Grits

grits (quick cook or stone ground)

white cheddar cheese (grated)

heavy cream

¼ tsp kosher salt

scallion (thinly sliced)

shrimp

tsp sweet paprika

½ tsp kosher salt

¼ tsp freshly cracked black pepper

(3 oz) andouille (cubed)

garlic (minced)

chicken stock, (vegetable stock, seafood stock, or white wine)

Tbsp parsley (finely chopped)

lemon juiced ((about 2 Tbsp))

Bring whole milk to a boil in a sauce pan, then whisk in the grits, cover, reduce heat to a simmer and cook according to package directions. If using quick cook grits, this will take 5-10 minutes. If using stone ground grits, this will take about 30 minutes.

When grits are fully cooked, add grated white cheddar cheese, butter, heavy cream, and salt. Whisk until creamy, then stir in scallions. Cover and set aside. Grits will thicken as they sit.

To make grits

In a large bowl, season shrimp with salt, pepper, and paprika, then toss to thoroughly coat. Heat butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add cubed andouille sausage and cook until brown on all sides, about 3-5 minutes. Next, add minced garlic and cook 1 minute more.

Add shrimp to the skillet and cook about 2-3 minutes, just until bright pink on both sides.

Pour in stock or wine (or a combination of the two), then deglaze the pan by scraping any brown bits off the bottom with a wooden spoon. Allow sauce to reduce and thicken, about 2 minutes.

Squeeze the juice from half a lemon into the sauce, taste, and adjust seasoning as necessary.

To serve: place heaping spoonfuls of grits in a large bowl, then top with shrimp, andouille, and sauce. Garnish with scallions and chopped parsley. Serve immediately.

Creamy Scrambled Duck Eggs with Ricotta Cheese and Fresh Chives

Butter

Duck Eggs

Tablespoon Heavy Cream (or Milk)

Ricotta Cheese

Black Pepper (to taste (optional))

Teaspoon Fresh Chives (chopped)

Heat the pan by placing a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt and coat the bottom of the pan evenly.

While the pan heats up, crack the duck eggs into a mixing bowl. Next, add the ricotta cheese to the eggs and whisk them together until well combined.

Once the butter is sizzling (but not browned), pour in the egg mixture.

Use a spatula to gently stir and scramble the eggs as they cook. Continue stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking. When the eggs are nearly cooked through, season with salt and pepper.

Cook the eggs to your desired level of doneness. For creamy  scrambled eggs, it will take about 4 minutes. If you prefer them more well-done, cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

Transfer the scrambled duck eggs to serving plates and garnish with fresh chopped chives.

Enjoy the scrambled duck eggs hot, either as a stand-alone breakfast dish or with toast, a side salad, or some sautéed vegetables for a complete meal. (see more serving options in full post)
