Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare 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, stirring occasionally, until thickened (about 20-25 minutes). Stir in butter and cheddar cheese until melted and creamy.

  2. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Add shrimp, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and cook until shrimp are pink and opaque (about 3-4 minutes). Remove from heat and set aside.

  3. 3

    Fry the Eggs

    In a separate skillet, fry the eggs to your liking (sunny-side up, over-easy, etc.). Season with salt and pepper.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Dish

    To serve, place a scoop of cheesy grits on a plate, top with sautéed shrimp, and finish with a fried egg. Garnish with chopped green onions.
