Comment préparer Barbecued Bourbon Shrimp With Cheddar Cheese Grits

**Prepare the Bourbon Barbecue Sauce:**
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Add 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add 2 cloves minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Stir in 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup bourbon, 2 tablespoons cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons molasses, 1 tablespoon honey, 1/4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce, 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, and a pinch of cayenne pepper.
Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 40 minutes.
Transfer the sauce to a blender and puree until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside 1/3 cup for the shrimp; reserve the rest.
**Prepare the Shrimp:**
Season 1 pound of large shrimp with salt and pepper. Brush both sides with the reserved 1/3 cup of barbecue sauce.
Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly grease with 1 teaspoon of oil.
Grill shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and cooked through.
**Prepare the Cheddar Cheese Grits:**
In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of chicken broth (or vegetable broth for a vegetarian option) and a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes (optional) to a boil.
Slowly whisk in 1 cup of coarse stone-ground grits.
Reduce heat to low, and cook, stirring frequently, until tender, about 20 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese, 2 tablespoons of butter, and 1/2 cup of heavy cream.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
**Assemble and Serve:**
Spoon the cheese grits onto plates. Top with the grilled bourbon barbecue shrimp and drizzle with the remaining barbecue sauce.
