Shrimp n’ Grits Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Grits

    In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 cup of grits and salt. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring frequently, until thickened (about 20-25 minutes). Stir in the cheddar cheese until melted and well combined.

  2. 2

    Cook the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the diced bell peppers and onions; sauté until softened (about 5-7 minutes). Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

  3. 3

    Cook the Shrimp

    Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook until they turn pink (about 3-4 minutes). Pour in the New Orleans BBQ sauce and stir to coat the shrimp evenly. Allow to simmer for 2-3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Spoon the cheesy grits onto plates and top with the shrimp mixture. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve immediately.
