INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 cups quick grits
  • 2 3/4 cups water
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • .
  • Coconut Curry Sauce:
  • 1 small can (8.5 ounces) cream of coconut (sweetened, such as Coco Lopez), about 2/3 cup
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice, about 1 medium lime
  • 2 teaspoons curry powder
  • dash cayenne pepper

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 1/2 pounds extra large shrimp, tail on

PREPARATION:

Cook grits with water and salt, following package directions. Add a little more water if necessary. Stir butter into the hot grits. Keep warm while preparing sauce and shrimp.

Put all sauce ingredients in a blender; blend until smooth and well mixed.

Put about 1 tablespoon of the sauce into another bowl with 1 tablespoon olive oil; take shrimp by tails and dip to coat with a little sauce. Place shrimp on broiler pan; broil about 6 inches from heat until cooked through, turning after a few minutes.

Meanwhile, cook spinach on stovetop or in microwave following package directions; drain.

Stir 2 tablespoons cream into remaining coconut sauce; heat through.

On each serving plate, arrange about 1/4 of the spinach. Top with a large scoop of the warm grits, then arrange shrimp on and around the grits. Spoon a small amount of coconut sauce over each portion. Sprinkle lightly with paprika, if desired.
