Method

Cooking Shrimp

  1. 1

    Sauté the Shrimp

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add shrimp, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the shrimp turn pink, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Cooking Grits

  1. 2

    Prepare the Grits

    In a saucepan, bring water to a boil. Stir in the grits and salt. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 20-25 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in butter and cheddar cheese until melted and creamy.

Assembly

  1. 3

    Serve

    Spoon the creamy grits onto a plate and top with sautéed shrimp. Garnish with chopped green onions and fresh parsley before serving.
