Shrimp and Grits Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

1

Prepare the Grits

In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Stir in the grits and a pinch of salt. Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring frequently, until thickened (about 20-25 minutes).

2

Add Cream and Cheese

Once the grits are cooked, stir in the heavy cream, cheddar cheese, and 2 tablespoons of butter. Mix until creamy and smooth. Keep warm.

3

Cook the Shrimp

In a large skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

4

Season and Sauté

Add the shrimp to the skillet and sprinkle with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through.

5

Serve

Serve the cheesy grits in bowls topped with the sautéed shrimp and garnish with sliced green onions.
