Blackened Shrimp and Grit Cakes

Directions

1. 1

   Cut the grits out into circles using a cookie cutter or egg ring. Pat the bottom dry using a paper towel, dip in egg, and then panko crumbs. Let sit and get some oil hot on the Blackstone to shallow fry the grit cakes. Keep a small puddle of oil and flip as needed to brown each side. Once done, set on a paper towel-lined plate.

2. 2

   Heat a pan on the griddle, and add the onion, bell pepper, and celery. Cook until tender. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant. Add the oil and flour and mix until a light roux forms. Slowly pour the heavy whipping cream and stir well. Keep stirring until the sauce thickens.

3. 3

   Preheat Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat. Add Cajun seasoning and cook shrimp in a light coating of oil until done.

4. 4

   Place cakes in sauce and top with shrimp. I added some Louisiana hot sauce and a post dust of the Cajun seasoning.
