Shrimp & Grits Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Grits

   In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Stir in the grits and reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Stir in the smoked gouda cheese, salt, and pepper. Keep warm.

2. 2

   Cook the Chorizo

   In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chorizo and cook until browned and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chorizo from the skillet and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pan.

3. 3

   Sauté the Shrimp

   In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the shrimp, paprika, and lemon juice. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Return the cooked chorizo to the skillet and mix well.

4. 4

   Serve

   To serve, spoon the creamy grits onto plates and top with the shrimp and chorizo mixture. Garnish with chopped scallions.
