Ingredients for Shrimp & Grits

Method

Directions for Preparing Shrimp & Grits

  1. 1

    Prepare the Grits

    In a large saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add salt and slowly whisk in the yellow stone-ground grits. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the grits are thick and creamy, about 20-25 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of butter. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

    In a large skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the shrimp, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and cook until the shrimp are pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the barbecue sauce and lemon juice, and cook for another 2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Serve

    To serve, spoon the creamy grits onto plates and top with the barbecue shrimp. Garnish with chopped green onions.
