Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Grits

    In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and slowly stir in the Old Mill of Guilford grits. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring frequently, until the grits are thick and creamy (about 20-25 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of butter. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Shrimp and Sauce

    In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the remaining butter. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute). Add the shrimp and Cajun spice mix, cooking until the shrimp turn pink (about 3-4 minutes).

  3. 3

    Add Wine and Tomatoes

    Pour in the white wine and add the halved cherry tomatoes. Let simmer for about 5 minutes, until the sauce slightly thickens. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Spoon the creamy grits into bowls, top with the shrimp and wine sauce, and garnish with chopped parsley.
