Bryan Voltaggio

Smoked Shrimp and Grits

Original Event Date, Saturday, October 3, 2015

Fan favorite Bryan Voltaggio stopped by the Culinary Demo program early in the season at Epcot's 2015 Food and Wine Festival. Always entertaining, a delicious shrimp and grits dish, and gracious with his time after the demo had ended... it's easy to see why chef Voltaggio is so popular. His Shrimp and Grits dish was also prepared that night at the Party for the Senses, and paired well with a truly "international" Riesling Kabinett from Germany.

Chef Bryan Voltaggio fans through his new recipe book, which was also available for purchase (and to get autographed) at the Festival Bookstore after the demo had ended.

Chef Volraggio takes a second to explain the different sizes of shrimp and the shrimp numbering system.

Here's the Shrimp and Grits dish that each member of the Culinary Demo audience received. That's one big shrimp!

Chef Volraggio is using a smoker to to give the shrimp an oak grilled flavor.

Plating is very important!

The sauce that you see in there... that's Beer-Yeast Sauce... because you know, when would you not want a beer-yeast sauces on your shrimp?
