Shrimp & Grits Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Grits

    In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Stir in the grits and salt. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened.

  2. 2

    Add Cheese and Butter

    Once the grits are cooked, remove from heat and stir in the butter and shredded cheddar cheese until melted and creamy. Season with black pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    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.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Spoon the cheesy grits into bowls, top with the sautéed shrimp, and garnish with sliced green onions.
