Creamy caraway grits are topped with marinated shrimp and comforting corned beef.
By Justine Sulia
With St. Patrick’s Day right around the corner, I thought this would be the best time to share these caraway havarti grits with shrimp and corned beef. I promise it’s not as strange as it seems! In fact, it’s pretty much one of the most delicious things I’ve ever had! Deli-style corned beef is tossed with a spicy shrimp and then piled on top of creamy, buttery grits that have been loaded with caraway havarti cheese. This recipe is pure comfort, and I won’t doubt that you’ll be going back for seconds and thirds!
As we embark on these last few days of winter, I’ve been soaking up all of the comfort food I can. It’s ok though. It’s fun to swap out the roast beef and mashed potatoes for cold pasta salads and cheeseburgers.
These caraway havarti grits with shrimp and corned beef are just pure comfort in a bowl. The shrimp itself is marinated in a blend of rice wine vinegar, olive oil, lime juice, crushed red pepper, cayenne and chili powder. It is seared to perfection in a hot skillet and then tossed with deli-style corned beef.
The caraway havart grits? Well now these are the best part! Corn grits (or polenta) is cooked to perfection in a large saucepan. Into the grits goes grated Castello Caraway Havarti Cheese that is an insanely perfect addition because St. Patricks Day is right around the corner and the caraway compliments the corned beef sooooo well! A couple of tablespoons of butter and a dash of salt and pepper finish the whole thing off!
Pair the grits with a Pale Ale and have a wonderful week!
