Grits

Shrimp and Chorizo

Method

Preparing the Grits

  1. 1

    Boil Water

    In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over high heat.

  2. 2

    Add Grits

    Once the water is boiling, slowly whisk in 1 cup of stone-ground grits. Reduce the heat to low.

  3. 3

    Cook Grits

    Cover the pot and simmer the grits for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are thick and creamy.

  4. 4

    Finish Grits

    Stir in 1 cup of milk, 2 tablespoons of butter, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 cup of cheddar cheese. Mix well until the cheese is melted and creamy.

Cooking the Shrimp and Chorizo

  1. 5

    Heat Oil

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.

  2. 6

    Cook Chorizo

    Add 4 ounces of chorizo sausage to the skillet and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 7

    Add Shrimp

    Add 1 pound of fresh shrimp and cook for about 3-4 minutes, until they turn pink.

  4. 8

    Add Garlic and Spices

    Stir in 3 cloves of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of paprika, and 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  5. 9

    Finish with Lemon Juice

    Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of chopped parsley.
