Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Grits

    In a medium saucepan, bring chicken broth to a boil. Stir in cornmeal, salt, and black pepper. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  2. 2

    Add Milk and Cheese

    Once the grits are thickened, stir in milk and cheddar cheese. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring until creamy. Remove from heat and keep warm.

  3. 3

    Cook the Shrimp

    In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add shrimp, paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes until shrimp are pink and cooked through.

  4. 4

    Combine and Serve

    Spoon the creamy cheese grits onto plates. Top with the cooked shrimp and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve immediately with your choice of sides.
