Shrimp & Grits Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Grits

    In a medium saucepan, bring water and salt to a boil. Gradually whisk in the grits. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened. Once cooked, stir in butter and cheddar cheese until melted and creamy.

  2. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the shrimp and sprinkle with cajun seasoning and black pepper. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through.

  3. 3

    Combine and Serve

    Remove the skillet from heat and add lemon juice and chopped green onions to the shrimp. Serve the shrimp mixture over the creamy grits. Garnish with additional green onions if desired.
