    Add Cheese and Butter

    Once the grits are cooked, stir in butter, cheddar cheese, and season with salt and pepper. Keep warm.

    Cook the Shrimp

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Add shrimp, Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook until shrimp turns pink, about 3-4 minutes.
