Shrimp & Grits Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Grits

    In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add salt and slowly whisk in the grits. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until creamy. Stir in butter and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, Creole seasoning, salt, and pepper. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are pink and opaque.

  3. 3

    Make the Creole Tomato Salad

    In a bowl, combine diced tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well and let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

  4. 4

    Serve

    To serve, spoon a generous portion of grits onto a plate, top with grilled shrimp, add a side of Creole tomato salad, and serve with slices of French bread.
