  • When oil is thoroughly heated, toss in shrimp to cover bottom of pan.

LEMON-GARLIC SHRIMP & PARMESAN GRITS RECIPE - (4.6/5)



Lemon-Garlic Shrimp & Parmesan Grits Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by msippigrl

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 servings cooked white grits (not instant)
1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, finely shredded (I used Great Value)
3 tablespoons salted butter, divided
1 pound medium shrimp (without heads), peeled and deveined, tails intact (I used frozen, thawed)
2 medium cloves garlic, minced (1 1/2 to 2 teaspoons)
Pinch of cayenne pepper, optional
Juice of half a lemon, (2 to 2 1/2 tablespoons)
1 1/2 teaspoons dried parsley flakes (can use fresh)
Salt and ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Cook enough grits for 4 servings as directed on package. When done, whisk in 1 tablespoon butter, the Parmesan cheese, and salt and pepper, to taste. Cover and keep warm. Meanwhile, season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a medium-large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp, garlic, and cayenne and cook until the shrimp are done 3 tp 4 minutes, stirring constantly. (May need to reduce the heat a little to keep the garlic from burning.) Remove from the heat and stir in 2 tablespoons water, the lemon juice, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Plate the grits in shallow bowls then top with the shrimp mixture. If desired, serve with lemon wedges.

Tips:

  • Use fresh shrimp. Frozen shrimp can be used, but fresh shrimp will give the dish a better flavor and texture.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cooks quickly, so it's important to cook it just until it's opaque and pink. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
  • Use a good quality Parmesan cheese. The Parmesan cheese is one of the main ingredients in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that has a strong flavor.
  • Make sure the grits are creamy. The grits should be cooked until they are creamy and smooth. If the grits are too thick, they will be difficult to eat.
  • Serve the dish immediately. This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The shrimp will start to get tough if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Shrimp Parmesan grits is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of shrimp, Parmesan cheese, and grits is sure to please everyone at the table. With just a few simple ingredients and steps, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that the whole family will love.
