Ingredients

For the Grits

For the Shrimp and Sauce

Instructions

  1. Bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil in a large pot.
  2. Stir in the grits and return to a boil.
  3. Reduce the heat and let the grits simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

🍽️ You can adjust the consistency of the grits with extra water if you prefer them creamier. Just remember that they'll thicken as they cool!

  1. In a separate pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  2. Add 1 cup of water to the garlic butter mixture, then whisk in the flour and beef base until thickened.

🧄 Feel free to experiment with spices—perhaps a dash of cayenne for heat or a sprinkle of smoked paprika for depth!

  1. Bring the sauce to a boil, then stir in the shrimp. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.
  2. Serve the hot grits in a bowl, topped with the shrimp and a generous ladle of the savory sauce.
