Can't help on the recipe, but, welcome!

Don't see it in the recipe index. Maybe one of the users who has been here longer has some info.

Where near Philly are you? I was born in Warminster, and also live in Pottstown for a while.

Well, there's this one -
Smoky Grits Soufflé with Shrimp Creole
(Cuisine at home, February 2006, Issue 55, p. 9-11)


Makes: One 9-inch Soufflé 6 Cups Creole Total Time: About 1 1/4 Hours Rating: Intermediate


For the Soufflé —
Bring to a Boil; Whisk in:
2 cups water
2 cups whole or 2% milk
1 cup medium- or coarse-grind yellow grits

Off Heat, Stir in:
1 1/2 cups smoked Gouda, shredded
1/2 cup cooked ham, diced small
1/4 cup scallions, sliced
1 t. kosher salt
1/4 t. ground white pepper
1/8 t. cayenne
5 egg yolks

Beat; Fold into Base:
5 egg whites
1/4 t. cream of tartar

For the Creole —
Saute in 4 T. Unsalted Butter:
1/2 cup onions, diced
1/2 cup green bell pepper, diced
1/2 cup celery, diced
1 T. garlic, minced
1 T. tomato paste
1 T. Cajun seasoning

Deglaze with; Stir in:
1/3 cup dry sherry
2 T. all-purpose flour
1 can diced tomatoes and juice (14.5 oz.)
1 cup chicken broth
2 T. honey
2 T. Worcestershire sauce
Juice of 1 lemon

Add and Simmer; Finish with:
1 lb. medium shrimp, peeled
1 1/2 cups frozen sliced okra
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Tabasco to taste





Preheat oven to 400° with a rack in the lower third. Generously grease a 9" soufflé dish with softened butter; coat the inside with 3 T. plain bread crumbs. Freeze the dish.

Bring water and milk for the souffle to a boil in a large saucepan. Whisk in grits in a steady stream, stirring constantly; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until grits are thick, 5–8 minutes.

Off heat, stir in Gouda, ham, scallions, and seasonings. Transfer grits to a large mixing bowl, then blend in the yolks. Cool grits until they're warm, stirring often to prevent a "skin" from forming.

Beat egg whites and cream of tartar to stiff peaks in a bowl using an electric hand mixer on medium-high speed. Lighten the base with some of the whites, then carefully fold in the remaining whites. Pour batter into prepared dish and bake for 30 minutes; reduce the oven temperature to 350° and bake 15–20 minutes longer. Serve scoops of soufflé on top of hot Shrimp Creole.

Saute onions, bell pepper, celery, garlic, tomato paste, and seasoning for the Creole in a saute pan in butter over medium-high heat. Cook until vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes.

Deglaze with sherry; simmer until liquid is nearly evaporated. Add flour and stir to coat vegetables. Stir in tomatoes, broth, honey, Worcestershire, and lemon juice; simmer 8–10 minutes.

Add shrimp and okra; simmer until shrimp are cooked through and okra is soft, 3–4 minutes. Finish with parsley and Tabasco.
