Shrimp and Grits Ingredients

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 heat to low. Cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened. Stir in butter and cheddar cheese until melted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  2. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Add shrimp and sprinkle with cajun seasoning. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until shrimp are pink and opaque.

  3. 3

    Serve

    Spoon the cheesy grits into bowls, top with the sautéed shrimp, and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve immediately.
