2 tbs Butter

Seafood

1 large lobster tail

1 cup shrimp

1 tbs lobster butter

2 cloves Garlic

2 tbs Parsley

Method

Preparing the Grits

Cook the Grits

In a saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add salt and slowly add the grits, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low and cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.

Finish the Grits

Once the grits are cooked, stir in heavy cream and butter until creamy and smooth. Set aside and keep warm.

Cooking the Seafood

Prepare the Lobster

While the grits are cooking, prepare the lobster tail by removing the shell and cutting the meat into bite-sized pieces.

Cook the Seafood

In a skillet, melt lobster butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add the lobster and shrimp, cooking until the shrimp are pink and the lobster is cooked through, about 4-5 minutes.

Add Flavor

Stir in lemon juice and chopped parsley. Mix well and remove from heat.

Serving

Plate the Dish
