Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Grits

    In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the corn grits and salt, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to low and cook, covered, for about 20-25 minutes until the grits are creamy. Stir in 1 tablespoon of butter and mix well. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Shrimp

    In a large skillet, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque. Squeeze lime juice over the shrimp and season with black pepper.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Dish

    Serve the creamy corn grits in a bowl and top with the sautéed shrimp. Garnish with chopped cilantro and an additional squeeze of lime juice if desired.
