BBQ Shrimp Ingredients

Method

BBQ Shrimp Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the BBQ Shrimp

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Seasonings

    Stir in Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the shrimp are evenly coated and heated through.

  3. 3

    Garnish

    Remove from heat and stir in chopped green onions and parsley. Set aside while you prepare the grits.

  4. 4

    Make the Cheesy Grits

    In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of grits. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes until thickened.

  5. 5

    Add Cheese

    Stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese until melted and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Spoon the cheesy grits onto plates and top with the BBQ shrimp. Garnish with additional green onions and parsley if desired.
