Method

Prepare the Grits

  1. 1

    Cook the Grits

    In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Gradually whisk in the stone-ground grits, reducing heat to low. Stir frequently.

  2. 2

    Simmer

    Cover and simmer for about 20-25 minutes until the grits are thick and creamy, stirring occasionally.

  3. 3

    Add Milk and Season

    Stir in the milk, butter, salt, and black pepper. If using, add the cheddar cheese and mix until melted and combined. Keep warm.

Cook the Shrimp

  1. 4

    Sauté the Shrimp

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

  2. 5

    Season and Cook

    Add the shrimp, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through.

  3. 6

    Add Lemon Juice

    Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice. Mix well to combine all flavors.

Serve

    Plate the Dish
