Sean Brock Makes Shrimp & Grits - How To

Legendary Southern chef and author of the new cookbook “South” Sean Brock shares a cherished shrimp and grits recipe fit for a white tablecloth restaurant. Sean starts with the grits, using a thorough technique he’s perfected over the course of his life.
Once the grits are complete, Sean cooks country ham, seasons shrimp with salt and pepper, and dredges them in flour. Next, Sean slices button mushrooms and scallions. He adds the shrimps, mushrooms, and vegetable stock to the pan, allowing the liquid and flour to thicken into a broth. He sprinkles the scallions over the top, along with a little seasoning and hot sauce, and finishes with diced butter, stirring everything together. Sean plates the dish by spreading the grits evenly across the plate and topping it with the mixture of shrimp, mushrooms, country ham, and scallions.

I don't know if he'll ever see this comment, but his cookbook Heritage came into my life when my grandma passed several years ago. At the time I wasn't able to cook from it because we were in the hospital a lot, but just reading the recipes and his love for southern cooking was a genuine source of light during that time. Wishing him nothing but the best.

The Southern traditions this man speaks of and that are so special to him are going away. What makes Southern food so special is the emotional and social aspects of it for Southerners. Homesteads in the South were very far apart yet it was the land being crossed for the Western migration. It because customary for homes to keep food cooking all day for the family, farm workers, and travelers. A good meal could warm the bodies and souls of guests and help sustain them during their arduous treks. When I was a kid both my grandmothers kept warm, delicious food prepared ALL DAY. It might just be biscuits or bacon, but it would be something other things could be added to quickly to create a meal any time of day (or night). Other times it would be a pot of beans and a pan of cornbread. And everyone who stopped by would be offered food. Food became a way to show love and care and to make friends out of strangers. Sadly, though, this is going away. Women don't stay at home, there is no reason to have REAL food prepared all day (snacks and fast food have replaced), and few men or women are learning to cook the classic methods. It's going to be a tragic loss.
