Waterdeep Harbor’s Finest Shrimp and Grits

Ingredients

• 2 cup water
• 2 cup chicken broth
• 2 cup quick cooking grits
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tsp sriracha
• salt (to taste)
• pepper (to taste)
• 8 tbsp unsalted butter
• 0.5 lb smoky bacon
• 1 lb medium shrimp (shelled and deveined)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 4 eggs (to be fried)
• 0.5 cup scallions
• 6 tbsp sesame seeds

Steps

1. 1

   Bring the water and chicken broth to a simmer in your cooking pot over a medium-high cooking fire or stove.

2. 2

   Slowly add the quick cooking grits while stirring.

3. 3

   Simmer for 5 minutes then turn the heat to low.

4. 4

   Add the soy sauce, salt, pepper, and sriracha and mix.

5. 5

   Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes or until the grits are no longer grainy.

6. 6

   Add the butter and stir until melted. Set aside, covered.

7. 7

   Toss the shrimp in the olive oil and add some salt.

8. 8

   Fry your bacon in a pan, remove the strips, then chop.

9. 9

   Wipe out most of the grease from the pan, then add the shrimp. Sear for 1 to 2 minutes, flip, then sear until they are just barely undercooked, about another 1 to 2 minutes. They'll finish cooking from their residual heat.

10. 10

    Fry your eggs to taste in the same pan without wiping out the grease.

11. 11

    Serve the shrimp, eggs, and bacon on top of the grits, garnished with the scallions and sesame seeds.

12. 12

    Resume adventuring!

Notes

This recipe is inspired by the Shrimp and Grits recipe from the Momofuku cookbook, simplified and adjusted with new flavors for a Dungeons and Dragons theme. The savory bacon and eggs play with the clean seafood taste of shrimp and the Asian zing.
