There are 100's or more ways to make shrimp & grits. If you want an easy one that tastes great here you go:
3 cups of broth (chcken or seafood or both)
1 cup of half & half
1 1/2 cups of quick cooking grits (not instant)
1 1/2 - 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese
1 can of Rotel (drained)
1 garlic clove
1- 1 1/2 lbs of shrimp (I like 26-32 size) peeled and deveined
1 tsp of cajun seasoning
1. Preheat oven to 350
2. In a sauce pan bring broth & half & half to a slow boil. Stir in grits slowly. Reduce heat to low and cover for 8-10 minutes. Stir in cheese, remove from heat and add Rotel.
3. Heat a Tbsp of oil in a large skillet over medium low heat. Add minced garlic clove for about 30-45 seconds. Increase heat to medium and shrimp & seasoning. Cook for about 1 minute. You just want to coat the shrimp!
4. Pour grits in a caserole dish (2-3 quart) and fold in shrimp.
5. Cover and bake for about 40 minutes.
6. Garnish with green onions & bacon or country ham crumbles.
