Shrimp and Grits Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Grits

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

  2. 2

    Finish the Grits

    Once the grits are cooked, stir in heavy cream, butter, and cheddar cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then keep warm.

  3. 3

    Cook the Shrimp

    In a skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute. Add the shrimp, cajun seasoning, and cook until the shrimp turns pink, about 3-5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Combine and Serve

    Once the shrimp are cooked, add lemon juice and chopped green onions. Serve the shrimp mixture over the creamy grits and garnish with additional green onions if desired.
