Shrimp & Grits Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Grits

   In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the grits and a pinch of salt, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 20-25 minutes until thickened, stirring occasionally.

2. 2

   Cook the Bacon

   In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pan.

3. 3

   Sauté the Shrimp

   Add the minced garlic to the skillet with bacon drippings. Sauté for 1 minute, then add the shrimp and cajun seasoning. Cook until the shrimp are pink and opaque, about 3-5 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

4. 4

   Combine with Grits

   Once the grits are cooked, remove them from heat and stir in the butter and cheddar cheese until melted and creamy. Serve the cheesy grits topped with the sautéed shrimp, crumbled bacon, and chopped green onions.
