Shrimp and Grits

 Here's a recipe plan for Shrimp and Grits:





Ingredients:


1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined

1 cup stone-ground grits

4 cups water or seafood broth

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

4 slices bacon, chopped

1 small onion, finely chopped

1 bell pepper, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons butter

Salt and black pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions:


In a medium-sized saucepan, bring the water or seafood broth to a boil. Add salt to the boiling liquid.


Gradually whisk in the grits, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan.


Cook the grits over low heat, stirring occasionally, for about 20-25 minutes or until they become thick and creamy. If the grits become too thick, you can add a little more water or broth to adjust the consistency.


While the grits are cooking, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped bacon and cook until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet, leaving the drippings in the pan.


In the same skillet, add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are softened and slightly caramelized.


Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook until they turn pink and are cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.


Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the cooked bacon and butter until the butter is melted and incorporated into the mixture.


Stir the shredded cheddar cheese into the cooked grits until it is fully melted and combined.


To serve, spoon a portion of the creamy grits onto a plate or bowl. Top with the shrimp and vegetable mixture. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.


Shrimp and Grits is a classic Southern dish that combines the creamy comfort of grits with flavorful sautéed shrimp. This savory and satisfying meal is perfect for any time of the day, whether it's breakfast, brunch, or dinner.


Feel free to customize the recipe by adding additional seasonings or spices to suit your taste preferences. Serve with a side of fresh salad or crusty bread for a complete meal.


Enjoy the delightful flavors of Shrimp and Grits!
