Method

Prepare the Grits

  1. 1

    Cook the Grits

    In a pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the heirloom grits and salt, reduce heat to low, and simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 20-25 minutes until the grits are creamy.

  2. 2

    Add Cheese and Butter

    Once the grits are cooked, stir in the butter and shredded white cheddar cheese until melted and smooth. Keep warm.

Cook the Shrimp

  1. 3

    Sauté the Prosciutto

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the diced prosciutto and cook until crispy. Remove and set aside.

  2. 4

    Sauté the Shrimp

    In the same skillet, add olive oil, minced garlic, and Cajun seasoning. Add the shrimp and cook for about 3-4 minutes, until they turn pink and are cooked through. Remove from heat.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Plate the Dish

    Spoon the creamy heirloom grits onto plates, top with the sautéed shrimp, sprinkle crispy prosciutto, and garnish with chili threads and fresh parsley.
