Ingredients for Shrimp and Grits
Method
Directions for Shrimp and Grits
Prepare the Grits
In a saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Gradually whisk in the grits and reduce heat to low. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 20-25 minutes until thick and creamy. Stir in 2 tablespoons of butter and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Cook the Shrimp
In a skillet over medium heat, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the shrimp and sprinkle with Cajun seasoning. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Add lemon juice and stir to combine.
Serve
To serve, spoon the creamy grits onto plates and top with the sautéed shrimp. Garnish with sliced green onions and additional Cajun seasoning if desired.
