RECIPE: Seared Shrimp with Cheese Grits, Pico De Gallo & Salsa

Aug 7

Okay, I have been saying that I wanted to share recipes with ya'll since forever; like since making that 101 in 1001 list. That was how long ago? Haha. But, I've finally got one to share!

So remember how I raved about the restaurant I took Toby for his birthday last month, Two Urban Licks? I just could not get their bronzed scallops dish out of my head!

This is the one I'm talking about!

So being all inspired and such, I went excitedly to my freezer and... what happened to all of my scallops? Oh, that's right: I ate the rest of them last week. *sigh* But no worries, there was shrimp! So looking at the picture I took of the dish from the restaurant and trying to memorize what my taste buds tasted (I am sounding so greedy right now), I whipped up an amazing brunch for myself.

Hubby was cooking too so I was stuck with this ginormous pot! lol

*This is not sponsored; I just really like this stuff!*

I know ya'll want the recipe, so let's get to it! But first, I must say that I got the salsa recipe here, so make that before you get started on your dish! *Side note: I've been cooking since I was six years old, and eyeball all measurements of seasoning and such. It was really hard trying to quantify a pinch of parsley and a dash of red cayenne pepper!*
