Shrimp and Grits Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

1

Prepare the Grits

In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the grits and stir well. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.

2

Finish the Grits

Once the grits are cooked, stir in the butter, heavy cream, and cheddar cheese. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Keep warm.

3

Cook the Shrimp

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

4

Season and Grill

Add the shrimp to the skillet and sprinkle with cajun seasoning. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque.

5

Serve

To serve, place a generous scoop of grits on a plate, top with grilled shrimp, and garnish with chopped green onions.
