  • 1 lb of Shrimp - Deveined
  • 2 Cloves of Crushed Garlic
  • 1/2 Cup of Diced Onions
  • 2 Tbsp. of Butter
  • 2 leaves of Sage
  • 2 Tsp. Old Bay
  • 4 Cups of Milk
  • 2 Cups of Grits

  • 1/2 Cup of Cheddar Cheese
  • 3 Tbsp. Parmesan Cheese
  • 1 Tbsp. Garlic Powder
  • 1 Tbsp. Lemon Juice
  • 4 Tbsp. Chicken Broth
  • 1/8 Cup of White Wine

Method
 

  1. First prepare your grits, heat your milk to a slow boil, then add your grits. The grits will cook fairly quickly, now add your cheeses and stir them in with the 1 Tsp. of Old Bay, salt, and garlic powder.
  2. As the grits thicken , keep stirring and set aside. Now heat 1 Tbsp. of the butter with the sage until it turns slightly brown and add  the crushed garlic. As these begin to brown, add your shrimp and the old bay. These should cook in about 5 to 6 minutes, as soon as they turn bright pink and are no longer translucent, add your white wine. Quickly deglaze the pan and then remove the shrimp from your pan.
  3. With the remaining juices in the pan, add the Tbsp. of butter to the pan,  the chicken broth, and lemon juice. Allow these to thicken and then pour over the shrimp.
  4. Serve with your cheesy grits and enjoy!
