Grits

Method

Preparing the Grits

  1. 1

    Cook the Grits

    In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Gradually stir in the grits, reduce the heat to low, and cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  2. 2

    Add Cream and Seasoning

    Once the grits are thick and creamy, stir in the heavy cream, butter, salt, and black pepper. Keep warm until ready to serve.

Cooking the Shrimp

  1. 3

    Sauté the Shrimp

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

  2. 4

    Season and Cook

    Add the shrimp and Cajun seasoning to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.

  3. 5

    Add Broth and Finish

    Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice. Stir and cook for another 2 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens. Remove from heat and stir in green onions and parsley.
