Nigerian Suya Shrimp and Grits

Nigerian Suya Shrimp and Grits

Calicutts' Nigerian Suya always raises eyebrows with questionable stares, especially when we tell customers that the primary ingredient is peanut flour. However, the Suya spice blend is often used in Nigeria on street food - think kabobs, meat skewers, and more. So, we went on a little virtual adventure to discover more about how it is used in these dishes and how we could put our spin on this flavorful spice blend. Our travels soon turned to southern cuisine, which is heavily influenced by African flavors, including shrimp and grits.

This recipe is our version of shrimp and grits with a Nigerian twist - fresh shrimp seasoned in Calicutts' Nigerian Suya and cooked in bacon fat served with bacon, pineapple, and green onions over a bed of creamy, cheesy grits.
