Grilled Shrimp & Grits Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Grits

   In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add salt to taste. Gradually stir in the grits, reduce heat to low, and cover. Cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until the grits are thick and creamy. Stir in the shredded white cheddar cheese until melted and combined.

2. 2

   Cook the Collard Greens

   In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon, crumble, and set aside. In the bacon drippings, add the chopped collard greens and cook for about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another minute, then add salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the crumbled bacon.

3. 3

   Make the Chimichurri

   In a bowl, combine olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, and chili flakes. Mix well and season with salt and pepper to taste.

4. 4

   Grill the Shrimp

   Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Toss the shrimp with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are pink and opaque.

5. 5

   Assemble the Dish

   On a serving plate, spoon a generous portion of the cheddar grits. Top with the sautéed collard greens and grilled shrimp. Drizzle with house-made chimichurri and garnish with additional fresh cilantro if desired.
