1
Prepare the Grits
In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Stir in the grits and salt, reduce heat to low, and simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened. Stir in the cheddar cheese, diced jalapenos, and crumbled bacon. Keep warm.
2
Make the Ghambas Sauce
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the paprika and red pepper flakes. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes until pink. Stir in lemon juice and salt to taste, then remove from heat.
3
Cook the Sunny Eggs
In a non-stick skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook until the whites are set, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt.
4
Assemble the Dish
To serve, spoon the cheesy grits into bowls, top with the ghambas sauce, and place a sunny-side-up egg on top. Enjoy!
