Shrimp And Grits Recipe

Prepare the Grits

In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add salt and grits. Stir well and reduce heat to low. Cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the grits are creamy.

Add Garlic and Cheese

Once the grits are cooked, stir in the butter, minced garlic, and Parmesan cheese. Mix until well combined and creamy. Fold in the chopped fresh herbs. Keep warm.

Cook the Asparagus

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add asparagus and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until tender but still crisp. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Make the Tomato-Saffron Broth

In the same skillet, add diced tomatoes and saffron. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until tomatoes are soft and the broth has thickened slightly. Season with salt and pepper.

Cook the Shrimp

Add the shrimp to the tomato-saffron broth. Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.

Serve

To serve, spoon the garlic-herb grits into bowls, top with the shrimp and tomato-saffron broth, and garnish with sautéed asparagus.
