For the Shrimp and Grits

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Grits

    In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add salt and slowly whisk in the grits. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until creamy (about 20-25 minutes). Stir in butter and cheddar cheese until melted and well combined. Keep warm.

  2. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add shrimp and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until shrimp turn pink and are cooked through.

  3. 3

    Combine and Serve

    Stir in crumbled bacon, paprika, black pepper, and lemon juice with the shrimp. Serve shrimp mixture over the creamy grits, garnished with sliced green onions.
