Ingredients for Italian BBQ Shrimp Grits

Method

Directions for Italian BBQ Shrimp Grits

  1. 1

    Prepare the Grits

    In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Add the grits and reduce the heat to low. Stir occasionally and cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until the grits are thick and creamy.

  2. 2

    Add Cheese

    Once the grits are cooked, stir in the smoked Gouda cheese until melted and well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and keep warm.

  3. 3

    Cook the Shrimp

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and Italian seasoning, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Add BBQ Sauce

    Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until they start to turn pink. Pour in the BBQ sauce, stirring to coat the shrimp evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the shrimp are fully cooked (opaque and curled).

  5. 5

    Serve

    Spoon the cheesy grits onto plates and top with the BBQ shrimp. Garnish with chopped chives or parsley before serving.
