Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Grits

    In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Slowly whisk in the grits and reduce the heat to low. Cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until the grits are thick and creamy.

  2. 2

    Add Cream and Butter

    Once the grits are cooked, stir in the heavy cream, butter, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy. Keep warm.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Shrimp

    In a skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the shrimp and Cajun seasoning, stirring frequently until the shrimp are pink and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Spoon the creamy grits into bowls and top with the sautéed shrimp. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
