Shrimp & Grits Ingredients

Preparation

Cooking Directions

1. Prepare the Grits

In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil. Slowly whisk in the cheddar grits and reduce heat to low. Cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened. Stir in 2 tablespoons of butter and season with salt and pepper to taste.

2. Make the Shrimp Étouffée

In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, and celery, and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute.

3. Add Shrimp and Seasoning

Add the shrimp and cajun seasoning to the skillet, cooking until the shrimp turn pink, about 3-4 minutes. Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring well. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened. Adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper.

4. Prepare Blackened Green Beans

In another skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add the trimmed green beans and sprinkle with blackened seasoning. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until tender and slightly charred.

5. Serve

To serve, place a scoop of cheddar grits on a plate, top with the shrimp étouffée, and serve the blackened green beans on the side.
