Catfish, Grits, and Crawfish. It Doesn't Get Much More Southern Than That
Crispy fried catfish topped with a decadent crawfish in Cajun spiced cream sauce all on a bed of creamy old-fashioned grits and finished with fresh tomatoes and chives (from the garden). Throw in some fresh kale chips kale chips for just a little bit of crunch (and to pretend we're being healthy here) and you've got a dish I am very proud of I must say. What's not to like and with all that to go with it, how can this not win The Picky Eater over to grits - or at least move the needle a little?
Pan Fried Catfish and Grits
Topped with Crawfish in Cream Sauce and Kale Chips
I made this for The Picky Eater not too long ago. I am on a mission to convert the picky one into a grits fan - okay I'll take tolerator at this point. One of the problems is that she can't have shrimp so the classic shrimp and grits is out. I think if that was an option, I could win her over, but alas, no. I think I may have hit a homerun with this one (okay, I'm listening to a Yankees game as I type this).
This has crispy catfish and spicy, a decadent crawfish in Cajun spiced cream sauce, and old-fashioned grits all topped with fresh tomatoes and chives (from the garden) and crispy kale chips for just a little bit of crunch (and to pretend we're being healthy here).

Yeah, despite the work, this one's going into regular rotation.
