Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Grits

    In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Stir in the grits, reduce heat to low, and cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened.

  2. 2

    Add Cream and Cheese

    Once the grits are cooked, stir in the butter, heavy cream, and cheddar cheese until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    Cook the Shrimp

    In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the shrimp, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook until the shrimp turns pink, about 3-4 minutes.

  4. 4

    Serve

    To serve, spoon the creamy grits onto a plate and top with the seasoned shrimp. Garnish with chopped green onions.
