Shrimp & Grits Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Grits

   In a medium pot, bring the water to a boil. Gradually whisk in the grits and reduce the heat to low. Cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened. Stir in butter, cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper to taste. Keep warm.

2. 2

   Cook the Bacon

   In a large skillet, cook the diced bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the skillet.

3. 3

   Cook the Shrimp

   In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute. Then add the shrimp, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook until the shrimp are pink and opaque, about 3-5 minutes.

4. 4

   Combine and Serve

   Add the cooked bacon back to the skillet with the shrimp and mix well. To serve, spoon the creamy grits onto a plate and top with the shrimp and bacon mixture. Garnish with chopped green onions.
