How to Shrimp Grits with WD-50’s Wylie Dufresne

Wylie Dufresne pities you and has shown mercy. In less than two months, he’ll close wd~50 on the Lower East Side, his Michelin-starred haven of food that is not what it seems. Take Shrimp Grits, the chef’s literal and figurative paraphrasing of Southern fisherman grub. In this version—one of wd-50’s few dishes recommended for home cooks who haven’t staged for Jean-Georges Vongerichten—the grits are comprised of ground shrimp, which Dufresne combines with freeze-dried corn, homemade vegetable stock, butter, scallions, and pickled jalapeños. It’s your basic Cajun astronaut comfort food, served up from one of the most innovative chefs in the world. And here’s how to make it.

    I like how he’s so humble about the dish. He know it’s perfect and yet he
    describes it as: “It’s not bad.” 😀

    I ate at wd~50 in 2013. Absolutely the best meal of my life. Best service
    as well. Not as expensive as some other commenters here have speculated,
    but not cheap either. We were given a tour of the kitchen and an amazing
    bar recommendation. I didn’t get to meet Wylie, unfortunately. It’s a shame
    the restaurant is being forced to shut down. It’s my only Michelin-star
    experience. I’ll always remember it though — especially the wagyu beef
    dish. Unbelievably tasty.
