Shrimp & Grits Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Grits

   In a medium pot, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Stir in the grits and salt. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 20-25 minutes until the grits are thick and creamy.

2. 2

   Add Cheese

   Once the grits are cooked, remove from heat and stir in the butter and cheddar cheese until melted and well combined. Set aside.

3. 3

   Cook the Bacon

   In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pan.

4. 4

   Sauté the Shrimp

   In the same skillet, add the minced garlic to the bacon drippings and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the shrimp, black pepper, and cook for 3-4 minutes until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.

5. 5

   Combine and Serve

   To serve, spoon the cheesy grits onto plates, top with the sautéed shrimp, crispy bacon, and diced tomatoes. Garnish with sliced green onions.
