How to Make Shrimp And Goat Cheese Grits

  1. Bring chicken broth to a boil in a medium saucepan. Slowly whisk in grits and reduce heat to low.
  2. Cook for 20-25 minutes, or until grits are tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in butter, heavy cream, salt, and pepper.
  3. While grits are cooking, heat olive oil in a separate skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and cooked through. Season with salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using).
  4. Spoon grits onto plates. Top with cooked shrimp and crumbled goat cheese.
  5. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve immediately.
