1
Prepare the Grits
In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the grits and salt, reduce heat to low, and cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once thickened, stir in 2 tablespoons of butter until melted and creamy.
2
Cook the Shrimp
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute. Add the black tiger shrimp and cook until they turn pink, about 3-4 minutes. Season with black pepper and adjust salt if needed.
3
Prepare the Cherry Peppers
Slice the cherry peppers and sauté them in the same skillet for 2-3 minutes until they are tender. Combine them with the cooked shrimp.
4
Serve
Spoon the creamy grits onto a plate, top with the shrimp and cherry peppers, and drizzle with house made hot sauce to taste. Serve immediately.
