Grits

Shrimp & Vegetables

Method

Prepare the Grits

  1. 1

    Cook Grits

    In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 cup of stone ground grits and 1 tsp of salt. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 20-25 minutes until the grits are thick and creamy.

  2. 2

    Incorporate Butter and Cheese

    Once the grits are cooked, stir in 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 cup of cheddar cheese until melted and well combined. Keep warm.

Cook Shrimp and Vegetables

  1. 3

    Sauté Shrimp

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add 60 oz of shrimp, season with 0.5 tsp of salt, 0.5 tsp of black pepper, and 1 tsp of paprika. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until shrimp turn pink and opaque. Remove shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

  2. 4

    Cook Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add chopped mushrooms, diced tomato, and 1 cup of lima beans. Sauté for about 5-6 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet, add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, and stir to combine. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until everything is heated through.
