Directions:
Prepare the Grits:
Bring 4 cups of water (or chicken broth for added flavor) to a boil in a medium pot.
Slowly stir in the grits, reduce the heat to low, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 25-30 minutes until the grits are tender and have absorbed most of the liquid.
Stir in butter, cheese, and season with salt and pepper. Set aside to keep warm.
Cook the Shrimp:
In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium-high heat.
Add the shrimp and sprinkle them with Cajun seasoning, cooking until pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer. Let it cook for 3-4 minutes to reduce slightly.
Stir in the heavy cream, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Return the shrimp to the pan and simmer for an additional 2 minutes until everything is well-coated in the sauce.
Assemble:
Serve the creamy shrimp over a bed of cheesy grits, drizzling the sauce from the skillet over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
