Shrimp

Grits

Method

Grits Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Grits

    In a medium-sized pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Once boiling, add 1 cup of grits and a pinch of salt. Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot.

  2. 2

    Simmer the Grits

    Cook the grits for about 20-25 minutes or until they are thick and creamy, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese and Butter

    Once the grits are fully cooked, stir in 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese until melted and well combined. Season with additional salt if needed, and keep warm.

Shrimp Preparation

  1. 4

    Sauté Garlic

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

  2. 5

    Cook the Shrimp

    Add the shrimp to the skillet and season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.

  3. 6

    Add Wine and Lemon Juice

    Pour in 1 cup of white wine and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Bring to a gentle simmer and let it cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce reduces slightly.

Serving

  1. 7

    Plate the Dish

    Spoon a generous portion of the cheesy grits onto a plate. Top with the sautéed shrimp and drizzle with any remaining sauce from the skillet.

  2. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley or green onions. Serve immediately and enjoy your Shrimp & Grits!
