Recipe Summary Momma's Shrimp And Cheese Grits

I have tried a number of shrimp and grits recipes, but have not found one I really like. So I decided to experiment a bit and created a simple but delicious recipe that will surely please the taste buds. In New Orleans we like our cayenne pepper, so use less if you don't like so much heat.

Ingredients | Cream Cheese Fettuccine Shrimp Recipe

3 ⅓ cups water

⅔ cup uncooked grits

¼ teaspoon salt

¼ cup butter

½ teaspoon minced garlic

2 green onions, diced

1 (16 ounce) package frozen shrimp, peeled and deveined - thawed

1 teaspoon lemon juice

2 pinches cayenne pepper, or to taste

salt and ground black pepper to taste

¼ cup butter

¾ cup cubed processed cheese food (such as Velveeta®)

Directions

Bring water to a boil in a saucepan; stir grits and salt into the boiling water, cover, and reduce heat to low. Simmer grits until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat and keep warm.

Melt 1/4 cup butter in a pan over medium heat; cook and stir garlic until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in green onions, cooking until green onions are wilted, another 4 minutes.

Mix shrimp into the garlic and green onions and cook until shrimp are firm and pink, about 5 minutes. Stir in lemon juice, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.

Just before serving, mix 1/4 cup butter into the cooked grits, followed by processed cheese. Mix thoroughly until creamy and cheese is melted. Season with salt and black pepper.

Place grits in a bowl, top with the shrimp, and pour pan sauce over shrimp and grits to serve.

Double, triple recipe as needed. This recipe is enough to serve 2 people generously but will easily convert to more servings.
