Shrimp And Grits Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Grits

   In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Stir in the grits and reduce heat to low. Cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until the grits are thick and creamy.

2. 2

   Add Cream and Cheese

   Once the grits are cooked, stir in the heavy cream, butter, and shredded cheddar cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm.

3. 3

   Cook the Bacon

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

4. 4

   Sauté Shrimp

   In the same skillet with bacon grease, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute. Add the shrimp, paprika, and season with salt and pepper. Cook until shrimp are pink and opaque, about 3-5 minutes.

5. 5

   Combine and Serve

   To serve, spoon the creamy grits into bowls, top with sautéed shrimp, and sprinkle with crispy bacon and chopped green onions.
