Instructions
 

  • In a pot over medium high heat bring the milk, beer and butter to a boil, reduce heat to maintain a low simmer. Stir in the salt, pepper, and grits. Simmer, stirring occasionally until the grits have softened, about 20 minutes. Stir in the cheese.
  • Line a 9x12 pan with parchment paper. Pour the grits into the prepared pan. Allow to cool to room temperate, cover and refrigerate for 1 hour and up to overnight (can be made a day in advance).
  • Remove the grits from the pan using the parchment paper. Lay the parchment with the grits onto a flat work surface. Using a 2-inch, round, biscuit cutter, cut out 12 circles.
  • Add the flour to a shallow bowl. Heat a thin layer of oil in a skillet over medium high heat.
  • One at a time lightly coat the grit circles in flour, add to the hot oil, cooking on both sides until golden brown. Remove from oil and allow to drain on a stack of paper towels.
  • Add the potato chips to a food processor, process until just crumbs remain, add to a shallow bowl.
  • In a separate bowl whisk together the milk and egg.
  • In a third bowl add the flour.
  • Heat about ¼ inch of oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
  • One at a time dredge the shrimp in flour, then dip in the egg mixture, then place in the bowl of chips. Sprinkle with chip crumbs, pressing to adhere.
  • Place in the hot oil, cooking on both sides until golden brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove from oil, add to a wire rack to cool.
  • In a small bowl whisk together the mayonnaise, hot pepper sauce, paprika, and parsley.
  • To assemble the sliders add one grits circle to the inside of each bun, top with one to two shrimp, drizzle with sauce.
  • Serve immediately, with an IPA beer.
