How to Make Heavenly Shrimp Parmesan Grits

  1. **Prepare the Grits:** In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of milk and 2 cups of chicken broth to a boil.
  2. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of quick-cooking grits. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until tender, stirring occasionally. Follow package directions if different.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of grated parmesan cheese and 1/2 teaspoon of Tabasco sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. **Cook the Shrimp:** Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Add 1 pound of peeled and deveined shrimp to the hot skillet, ensuring they form a single layer.
  6. Season shrimp with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Let them cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes until they begin to turn pink.
  7. Stir the shrimp and cook for another 1-2 minutes until they are pink and cooked through.
  8. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and 1 cup of sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for 2 minutes.
  9. Pour in 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and 1/4 cup of dry white wine. Stir for 30 seconds, allowing the shrimp to absorb the flavors.
  10. Stir in 2 tablespoons of sliced scallions and cook for 20 seconds.
  11. **Serve:** Spoon the creamy parmesan grits onto plates and top with the delicious shrimp mixture. Garnish with extra parmesan cheese and scallions, if desired.
