Shrimp & Grits Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Grits

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

  2. 2

    Finish the Grits

    Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and crumbled bacon into the cooked grits. Mix well and keep warm.

  3. 3

    Cook the Shrimp

    In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the shrimp and Cajun seasoning, cooking until the shrimp are pink and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Create the Sauce

    Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Allow the sauce to reduce slightly for about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Serve

    To serve, spoon the creamy grits onto plates and top with the shrimp and sauce. Garnish with sliced green onions.
