Shrimp and Rice Grits Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    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.

  2. 2

    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.

  3. 3

    Combine and Finish

    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.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Spoon the cooked rice grits into bowls and top with the shrimp mixture. Drizzle with remaining butter if desired and garnish with additional green onions.
