Method

To Prepare the Grits

  1. 1

    Cook the Grits

    In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Stir in the stone-ground grits and salt. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the grits are thick and creamy, about 20-25 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Milk and Cheese

    Once the grits are cooked, stir in the milk, butter, and shredded cheddar cheese until melted and well incorporated. Keep warm while preparing the prawns.

To Prepare the Prawns

  1. 3

    Sauté the Garlic

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.

  2. 4

    Cook the Prawns

    Add the prawns to the skillet, along with paprika, Cajun seasoning, and lemon juice. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the prawns are pink and opaque.

  3. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped green onions. Serve the sautéed prawns over the creamy grits.
