Shrimp and Grits Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

1

Prepare the Grits

In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Slowly whisk in the grits and reduce heat to low. Cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.

2

Add Milk and Cheese

Once the grits are cooked, stir in the milk, butter, and cheddar cheese. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Keep warm.

3

Cook the Shrimp

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the shrimp and sprinkle with Cajun seasoning. Cook for 3-4 minutes, turning until shrimp are pink and cooked through.

4

Serve

To serve, spoon a generous portion of cheese grits onto a plate and top with the Cajun fried shrimp. Garnish with sliced green onions.
