Cajun Grits

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cajun Grits

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

  2. 2

    Add Flavor to Grits

    Once the grits are cooked, remove from heat and stir in butter, cheddar cheese, Cajun seasoning, and salt to taste. Keep warm.

  3. 3

    Season the Shrimp

    In a bowl, toss the shrimp with Cajun seasoning and lemon juice until evenly coated.

  4. 4

    Cook the Shrimp

    In a skillet over medium-high heat, heat olive oil. Add the seasoned shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until blackened and cooked through.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Spoon the Cajun grits onto plates and top with the blackened shrimp. Enjoy!
