     Shrimp with Fresh Corn Grit

Category   Entrees - Maindishes
Sub Category   None
Servings   4
Preptime   40

Ingredients
3 ears of corn, husked
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup whole milk
3/4 cup grits (not instant)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Kosher salt
Freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
 
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon hot smoked Spanish paprika or 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika and a pinch of cayenne pepper
1 1/2 pounds large shrimp, peeled, deveined, tails left intact
Chopped fresh chives (for serving)

Instructions
Grate 2 ears of corn on the large holes of a box grater over a medium bowl, catching as much juice as possible; set aside. Cut kernels from remaining ear of corn into another medium bowl; set aside. Bring broth, milk, and 1 1/2 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce heat so liquid is at a simmer and gradually whisk in grits. Simmer, whisking often, until grits are very tender, 20–25 minutes. Mix in butter and reserved grated corn; season with salt and pepper. Fifteen minutes after you have added grits to saucepan, heat oil in a large skillet over medium- high heat. Cook garlic, oregano, and paprika, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add reserved kernels and cook,stirring occasionally, until golden brown and beginning to pop, about 3 minutes. Add shrimp and cook, tossing occasionally, until cooked through, about 4 minutes. Serve shrimp and corn over grits topped with chives.
Serving Suggestions
Liquid from the grated corn enriches and helps thicken the grits; fresh corn added at the end makes for nice bites.
