Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Grits

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

  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 the shrimp, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until shrimp are pink and opaque.

  3. 3

    Fry the Eggs

    In a separate pan, fry the eggs sunny-side up in a little butter or oil until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Dish

    Spoon the cheddar grits onto plates, top with the cooked shrimp, and place the sunny-side-up egg on top. Season with additional salt and pepper if desired.
