I am a big fan of the food at Walt Disney World. I have yet to have a meal that I didn't like. I will admit it, not every meal is out of this world amazing. But, the vast majority of the dishes I've had the pleasure of trying are worth attempting at home. I have been collecting the Disney cookbooks for a few years now, trying to gather all my favorite dishes.
In my endeavor to own all the Disney cookbooks that have been published, I have made a goal of cooking as many of the dishes as I can. This recipe called out to me. I've never had it at the Grand Floridian, but I feel that what I was able to create at home is most likely pretty close.
Ingredients
2 3/4 Cup Heavy Cream
1 Small Onion, finely chopped
2 Cloves Garlic, minced
1 Cup Grits, regular or stone ground
1 Tsp Salt, coarse
3 Tbsp Butter, unsalted
1/2 Tsp Thyme, fresh and chopped
1/2 Tsp Rosemary, fresh and chopped
1/4 Cup Mascarpone Cheese
1/2 Cup Fennel
1 1/2lbs Shrimp, peeled and deveined
3 Tbsp Olive Oil, extra virgin
1/2 Cup Chorizo Sausage, crumbled
1 Cup White Wine
Cooking Instructions
- Heat 3 cups of milk and 1 1/4 cups of heavy cream in a heavy bottomed sauce pan over medium heat until just simmering.
- Stir in the onion and garlic.
- Bring to a boil and slowly whisk in the grits and salt. Make sure to keep staring often and cook until grits are tender. (About the consistency of oatmeal)
- Remove the grits from heat and stir in the thyme, rosemary, butter, and mascarpone. Keep the girts warm until ready to serve.
- Heat olive oil in a large sauce pan, over medium-high heat, and add the shrimp.
- Sauce the shrimp until they are just pink and then remove them from the pan. Keep the shrimp warm until the sauce is finished.
- Reduce heat to medium and add the chorizo (if using), fennel, and onion. Cook until all are slightly brown.
- Pour in the wine and scrape the bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook until the liquid reduces by half. Around 10 minutes.
- Add the cream and reduce by half again.
- Reduce heat to low and whisk in butter. Season as desired with salt and pepper.
- Add the shrimp to the sauce and stir until well combined.
- Place the girts in a bowl or a plate and top with the shrimp and sauce.
