Shrimp & Grits Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Grits

    In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Stir in the grits and a pinch of salt. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened (about 20 minutes).

  2. 2

    Add Cream and Cheese

    Remove the grits from heat and stir in the heavy cream, butter, and cheddar cheese until well combined. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Cook the Shrimp

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and sprinkle with Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the shrimp are pink and opaque (about 3-4 minutes).

  4. 4

    Prepare the Eggs

    In a separate skillet, cook the eggs to your liking (fried, scrambled, etc.).

  5. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    Serve the cheesy grits on a plate, top with the Cajun shrimp, and garnish with sliced jalapeños. Serve alongside the cooked eggs and toast.
