For the Shrimp and Grits

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Grits

    In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Stir in 1 cup of grits and reduce the heat to low. Cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the grits are creamy. Stir in 1 cup of heavy cream and 2 tablespoons of butter, and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  2. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

    In a large skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the shrimp and sprinkle with Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Stir in chopped green onions.

  3. 3

    Serve

    Spoon the creamy grits onto plates and top with the sautéed shrimp mixture. Garnish with additional green onions if desired.
