Cheddar Grits

4 cups low-sodium chicken stock or water

1 1/2 cups stone ground corn grits

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

8 tablespoons 1 stick unsalted butter

8 ounces sharp cheddar, freshly grated

2 ounces Parmesan cheese

1 cup heavy cream

 

Honey Mustard Cajun Shrimp

1 pound peeled and deveined raw shrimp

1 tablespoon cajun seasoning

3 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons dijon

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or cilantro

 

Instructions

Place the stock, grits and salt in a large pot and bring it to a boil over medium high heat. Once boiling, turn off the heat and and cover the pot for 10 minutes.

During this time, pat the shrimp completely dry and sprinkle it with cajun seasoning. Whisk together the honey and the dijon.

After 10 minutes, bring the grits back to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring often and scraping the bottom, until most of the water is absorbed and the grits are al dente or tender, about 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the grits from the heat and stick in the cheddar, parmesan and cream. Taste and season with more salt and pepper if needed!

While the grits are cooking, heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook about 2 to 3 minutes per side, just until it’s opaque and pink. Once the shrimp is flipped, pour in the honey djion mixture. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for a few minutes to bring the flavors together. Sprinkle with the fresh herbs.

Once the grits are done, serve them in a bowl. Top with the shrimp. Serve immediately!
