Shrimp And Grits Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Grits

   In a medium saucepan, bring water or chicken broth to a boil. Add grits and reduce heat to low. Stir occasionally, cooking for about 20-25 minutes until thickened.

2. 2

   Add Cheese and Butter

   Once the grits are cooked, stir in butter and cheddar cheese until melted and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside and keep warm.

3. 3

   Cook the Bacon

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

4. 4

   Sauté the Shrimp

   In the same skillet, add garlic to the bacon grease and sauté for about 30 seconds. Add shrimp, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook until shrimp are pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes.

5. 5

   Combine and Serve

   Spoon the creamy grits onto plates, top with sautéed shrimp, and sprinkle with crispy bacon and chopped green onions. Serve immediately.
