Directions for Shrimp & Grits
- 1
Prepare the Grits
In a medium saucepan, bring 3 cups of water to a boil. Stir in the fire roasted corn grits and a pinch of salt. Reduce heat and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Stir in 1 tablespoon of butter and set aside.

Cook the Shrimp
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and bell peppers, sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute. Add the shrimp, season with salt and pepper, and cook until they turn pink, about 3-4 minutes.

Make the Cream Sauce
Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for another 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Adjust seasoning as needed.

Poach the Eggs
In a separate pot, bring water to a simmer. Crack each egg into a small bowl and gently slide into the simmering water. Poach for about 3-4 minutes until whites are set but yolks remain runny. Remove with a slotted spoon.
