Seafood Grits Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Grits

    In a pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 cup of grits and 1 tsp of salt. Reduce heat to low, stir occasionally, and cook until creamy, about 20-25 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Spinach

    In a skillet, heat 1 tbs of olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add 4 cups of spinach and sauté until wilted. Add lemon juice and season with black pepper. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Grill the Shrimp

    In another skillet, heat 1 tbs of olive oil over medium-high heat. Season shrimp with salt and pepper, then grill or sauté until they turn pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side.

  4. 4

    Combine and Serve

    Once the grits are cooked, stir in 2 tbs of butter and 1 tbs of grated Parmesan cheese. Serve grits topped with garlicky spinach and grilled shrimp.
