James-Beard-Award-winning chef and restaurateur Alexander Smalls grew up enjoying Lowcountry foods, and this dish, adapted from his cookbook, Meals, Music, and Muses: Recipes from My African American Kitchen, is inspired by those memories. Rice grits (also called middlins) are grains of rice that have broken during the hulling process. The small, broken pieces have a nutty taste and cook more quickly than regular long-grain rice. As rice grits cook, they become thick and porridgelike. Smalls tops the creamy rice with a rich brown seafood gravy that’s enhanced and flavored with lump crabmeat and shrimp. The roux-based pan gravy must be stirred constantly for a little while — 20 to 25 minutes — to develop a complex flavor and coax the sauce to its rich brown color. Make sure to stir continuously and watch the heat to ensure the gravy doesn’t develop any scorched bits.
