Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 lbs shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 tablespoon Old Bay Seasoning (optional)
3 cups water
1 cup quick-cooking grits
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
4 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded
2 teaspoons red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Boil shrimp. Use Old Bay seasoning in water to add additional flavor. 3-5 minutes in boiling water is usually plenty of time. Overcooking makes them tough. Set shrimp aside.
  • Boil 3 cups water. Add grits, reduce heat to medium=low and cover. Cook 5-7 minutes or until thickened, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.
  • Add remaining ingredients to grits and stir to melt cheese.
  • Dish grits into individual bowls and top with shrimp.
