Shrimp And Grits Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Grits

   In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Stir in the grits and Old Bay seasoning. Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 20-25 minutes until creamy. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of butter. Set aside.

   Cook the Shrimp

   In a large skillet, heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion, bell pepper, and celery (the Cajun Trinity) and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

   Add the Mushrooms and Tomatoes

   Add the sliced wild mushrooms and diced tomato to the skillet. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the mushrooms are tender.

   Finish with the Shrimp

   Add the shrimp to the skillet, seasoning with salt and black pepper. Cook until the shrimp are pink and cooked through, about 3-5 minutes.
