Excellent!!! had scallops on hand so seared them off before the snapper in lieu of shrimp. The coulis was beautiful even without the shrimp. I always adjust to our taste as needed and instead of making grits, I made polenta with the same ingredients. A keeper!

This recipe is divine. I have a son that does not like bell pepper but, he loves the coulis. The grits - they are a meal unto themselves and I make them often. It is well worth the effort!

I just made this tonight and it was delightful. I read some of the reviews and I just want to tell others who have read the reviews and are thinking of making this... MAKE THE COULIS. It was so yummy like a velety red pepper spoonful of comfort in your mouth. I don't know where the others went wrong but mine was fyre! I am an up south girl born in southern Illinois and we add milk or cream to our grits. I did as I was taught and let me tell you those grits were so good I could eat them all by themself. Last but not least, you do have to be really careful not to over cook the fish. If you get it right red snapper will become one of your favs.

This recipe is GREAT!!!! Made the sauce the night before and thought that you could eat it by itself, the fish was wonderful cooked this way. My husband is not much of a grit eater imagine that out of southern boy, but he ate it all and was ready for seconds, after trying this recipe it will be hard to top snapper any other way. The only thing that i did differently was add some cajun spice to the shrimp that some else suggested and was wonderful. Cant wait to get some more Snapper Great Job.

This is very good but I adjusted it to my tastes. I used a lot more medium sized shrimp on top and smaller fish fillets, about a pound of shrimp altogether. I also took all the shrimp shells and used them to make stock and used the stock to cook the grits. It seems like a crime to toss them out. Great deep flavor in the grits that way! I also suggest that you use a VERY light sprinkle of the cajun spice on the shrimp. It sets it off and I cook shrimp by itself with a light sprinkle of spice all the time now.

I used more liquid in the grits also. I just couldn't bring myself to use 2 cups of grits in 4 cups of water! 4 to 1 or 3.5 to 1 is a better ratio of liquid to grits.

It's a lot of work putting this all together, I suggest making the red pepper coulis the day before to keep your sanity. It reheats very well provided you do it gently.

I need to try this, but I'm so close to his restaurant "eat!" on Hilton Head I go there for it, it's my favorite on his menu.

very easy and very worth it! The combination of the three element are a home run. We live in the florida keys and we eat a lot of fresh fish. This is our new favorite way to prepare snapper. The grits are fabulous!

This was excellent. I did not have any grits so I used polenta. I added some fat free half and half at the end to add creaminess to the concoction. Use canned or jarred roasted red peppers and save yourself a lot of time. The meail goes together a lot quicker.

I am by far not a grits fan but something made me try this receipie anyway. I was in the mood for red snapper and I pulled up all of the receipies on this site. Some how, the picture intrigued me and although it said Cheesy bacon GRITS, I found myself goping to the store and picking up some along with the other ingredients. The fish came out spectacular , the red pepper coulis was pretty good (that's new to me too I could've done without it, but it almost tasted like a sweet type of tomato soup, and the grits to my surprise were SUPERB!!!! I give it a rating of a 4 because I couldb'tr done without that big blender full of Red pepper Copulism, which I don't know what elase I'll use it for, which I'll probably waste it, but every thing else was excellent and WILL not be wasted. GOOD JOB!

This recipe is amazingly good. The only issue with it is that the written instructions do not include all of the ingredients listed. It's easy enough to figure out what to do though. The results are totally worth the effort. Perhaps on of the best ones on this site.
