Cook the Rice Grits
In a large saucepan, bring chicken broth to a boil. Gradually stir in the rice grits, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until the grits are creamy and tender.

Prepare the Shrimp
While the grits are cooking, heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add shrimp and Cajun seasoning, cooking until shrimp are pink and opaque, about 3-5 minutes.

Once the shrimp is cooked, stir in the heavy cream and chopped green onions. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to warm through. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
