Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Grits

    In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 tsp of salt and gradually whisk in the stone-ground grits. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring frequently, for about 20-25 minutes until thick and creamy. Stir in 2 tbs of butter and adjust seasoning if necessary.

  2. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

    In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the remaining 2 tbs of butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the shrimp and Cajun seasoning, cooking for 3-4 minutes until shrimp is pink and cooked through. Stir in lemon juice and sliced green onions.

  3. 3

    Serve

    Spoon the creamy grits into bowls and top with the shrimp mixture. Garnish with additional green onions and a sprinkle of black pepper to taste.
