Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Grits

    In a large saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Stir in 1 cup of grits and reduce heat to low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until grits are thickened, about 20-25 minutes.

  2. 2

    Roast the Poblano Peppers

    While the grits are cooking, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

  3. 3

    Cook the Shrimp

    In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté garlic until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Make the Sauce

    In the same skillet, add the chopped roasted poblano peppers to the shrimp.

  5. 5

    Serve

    To serve, spoon the cheesy grits onto plates, top with the shrimp and poblano sauce, and garnish with chopped cilantro.
