Method

For the Grits

  1. 1

    Prepare the Grits

    In a large saucepan, bring the water and milk to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir in the corn grits and salt.

  2. 2

    Cook the Grits

    Reduce the heat to low and cook the grits, stirring frequently, until thickened, about 20-25 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Butter and Cheese

    Once the grits are cooked, stir in the butter and cheddar cheese until melted and creamy. Adjust seasoning if needed.

For the Shrimp

  1. 4

    Sauté the Garlic

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

  2. 5

    Cook the Shrimp

    Add the shrimp to the skillet and sprinkle with Cajun seasoning. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.

  3. 6

    Finish the Dish

    Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the lemon juice, green onions, and parsley. Mix well to combine.
