Blackened Grouper

Ingredients

  • 4 (6-ounce) grouper fillets
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1/2 cup blackening seasoning
  • 1 cup quick-cooking grits
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Serves: 4

Method: Direct grilling

  1. Set the EGG for direct cooking at 400°F/204°C.
  2. Brush the grouper fillets with melted butter and coat with blackening seasoning on both sides.
  3. Place the fillets on the grid and cook for 4–6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F/63°C.
  4. Meanwhile, prepare the grits. Bring water to a boil, then slowly whisk in the grits. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
  5. Add shredded cheddar cheese, heavy cream, butter, salt, and pepper to the grits. Stir until smooth and creamy.
  6. Plate the grits and top with the blackened grouper. Serve immediately.

Cooking Tip: To intensify the smoky flavor, add a small handful of wood chips to the EGG during grilling.
