Cajun Shrimp

Method

Preparation

1

Prepare the Grits

In a large saucepan, bring water to a boil. Stir in grits and a pinch of salt. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened. Mix in butter and cheddar cheese until melted and creamy. Set aside.

2

Cook the Bacon

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pan.

3

Sauté the Shrimp

In the same skillet, add shrimp and season with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until shrimp are pink and opaque. Remove shrimp and set aside.

4

Combine Ingredients

In the same skillet, add garlic, tomatoes, and scallions. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Pour in lobster broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in cooked shrimp and bacon, cooking until warmed through. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

5

Serve

To serve, spoon creamy cheddar grits onto plates and top with the Cajun shrimp mixture. Garnish with fresh parsley.
