Instructions

Step 1

1. In a medium size pot, bring 2 cups of chicken broth, milk, water and salt to a boil. Watch it carefully so it doesn't boil over. Stir in the grits. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover with a lid and simmer for 30 minutes.

Step 2

2. In the meantime, spritz the shrimp with olive oil spray & coat with the spices.

Step 3

3. Just before the grits are done, heat a large cast-iron skillet or wok with the olive oil over medium/high-heat.

Step 4

4. Add the shrimp, and cook until the spices are blackened and the shrimp is cooked.

Step 5

5. Stir in the butter and cheese into your grits. Remove grits from heat.
