1
Prepare the Grits
In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Slowly whisk in the grits, reduce heat to low, and cook covered for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened. Add salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in the cheddar cheese until melted and creamy.
2
Cook the Shrimp
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and season with salt and black pepper. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side until shrimp are pink and opaque.
3
Combine with BBQ Sauce
Pour the BBQ sauce over the cooked shrimp in the skillet, stirring to coat the shrimp evenly. Allow it to simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.
4
Assemble the Dish
Spoon the cheesy grits onto a serving plate, top with the BBQ shrimp mixture, and garnish with chopped scallions.
5
Serve
Enjoy your BBQ Shrimp & Grits hot, with extra BBQ sauce on the side if desired.
