Shrimp and Grits Ingredients
Method
Cooking Directions
Prepare the Grits
In a large saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the grits and stir. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened. Once cooked, stir in butter, cheddar cheese, heavy cream, salt, and pepper to taste.
Cook the Shrimp
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the shrimp and Cajun seasoning, cooking until the shrimp turn pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in chopped green onions and remove from heat.
Serve
To serve, spoon the cheesy grits onto a plate and top with the Cajun shrimp mixture. Garnish with additional green onions if desired.
