Shrimp and Sauce

Cheddar Grits

For Serving

Method

Prepare the Grits

  1. 1

    Cook the Grits

    In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Stir in the grits and salt, reduce heat to low, and cook until thickened, about 20-25 minutes. Stir in butter and cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.

Cook the Shrimp

  1. 2

    Sauté the Bacon

    In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pan.

  2. 3

    Cook the Shrimp

    Add olive oil to the skillet and sauté the minced garlic for about 1 minute. Add the diced tomatoes and paprika, and cook for 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink and are cooked through, about 3-4 minutes.

Prepare the Eggs

  1. 4

    Cook the Eggs

    In a separate pan, cook the eggs over-medium until the whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny.

Assemble the Dish

  1. 5

    Plate the Dish

    Spoon the creamy cheddar grits onto a plate, top with the shrimp and sauce, and place the cooked eggs on the side. Serve with a warm buttermilk biscuit.
