Ingredients for Prawns and Grits Cakes

• 475ml regular grits

• 1450ml plus 160ml low-sodium chicken or vegetable stock (amount may vary, depending on grits package directions), divided

• Parchment paper

• Aerosol de aceite vegetal para cocinar

• 120ml grated Parmesan

• 1 cucharada de mantequilla sin sal

• 450g large local prawns, shelled and deveined

• Jugo de 1 limón

• Hot pepper sauce, such as Tabasco

• 3 slices thick-cut bacon, cut in 1/2-inch dice

• 50g diced red pepper

• 120g chopped spring onions

• 2 tablespoons unbleached plain flour

• 60ml dry white wine or additional stock

• 1/3 taza de perejil fresco picado

Cook grits as directed on package, using about 1450ml stock instead of water. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; coat paper with cooking spray. Stir Parmesan and butter into grits; season with salt and black pepper. Pour grits onto sheet; smooth into an even layer. Cover and refrigerate until very firm, at least 2 1/2 hours or overnight. Use a 2-inch biscuit or round biscuit cutter to cut out 16 cakes; cover cakes and refrigerate. A half hour before serving, heat oven to 300°. In a bowl, toss prawns with juice and a few shakes of hot pepper sauce. In a large skillet, sauté bacon and pepper over medium heat until bacon is light brown but not crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove all but 2 teaspoons bacon fat from pan. Reduce heat to medium-low; add spring onions and toss to coat. Sprinkle in flour; sauté, stirring frequently with a wooden spatula, until light brown, 2 to 5 minutes. Add remaining 160ml stock and wine; cook, stirring, until sauce thickens. Season with salt, black pepper and more hot pepper sauce. Add prawns and any liquid; sauté until just opaque, 2 to 5 minutes, being careful not to overcook. Just prior to serving, transfer grits cakes to a baking sheet; bake until warm through, about 6 minutes. Spoon a bit of sauce and 1 prawns over each cake; garnish with parsley. Do AHEAD: The grits-cake base of these nibbles needs to firm up in the fridge for at least 2 1/2 hours—and more time is fine. Prep it the night before your party.
