Directions
Jack Fry’s Shrimp and Grits With Red-Eye Gravy, Jack Fry’s is one of the many GREAT restaurants on Bardstown Road here in Kentucky This appetizer is one of the most requested and ordered dishes The list of ingredients are long, but don’t be discouraged! This is goooooooood!!!, You had me at gravy ! That gravy, alone, is a revelation Let me say first that I changed some quantities and dropped some ingredients, but it is simply delicious They raved Next time, I wouldn’t obsess about the grits part, as it is not the star Your favorite grits recipe generously enriched with milk and cheese should be fine I actually used extra sharp cheddar The shrimp benefitted by marinating a few hours in Old Bay seasoning before sauteeing Regarding the gravy, oh my goodness! I increased the country ham by a lot Frying the tiny ham pieces to a crisp and THEN adding the veggies made a big difference Because I didn’t have the wine and tomatoes, I omitted them, but added a good dose of smoked paprika and increased the strong coffee I LOVED the idea of thickening the gravy All the red-eye gravy I’ve ever had has been just plain coffee and drippings This is better, a LOT better!
