Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

In a bowl, toss Shrimp ingredients together and set aside.
Bring Chicken Broth to a boil in a medium saucepan. Gradually whisk in Grits and reduce heat to low. Cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring frequently, until grits are creamy.
Stir in Butter and Cheddar Cheese into the Grits until melted and smooth.
While grits are cooking, melt Butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add Garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add Shrimp to the skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes per side, until pink and cooked through.
Pour in Heavy Cream and Lemon Juice. Simmer for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Serve Shrimp and sauce over Grits.
