Shrimp1.5 lbs

Method

1

Bring vegetable broth to a boil in a large saucepan. Slowly whisk in grits to avoid lumping, stirring constantly.

2

Reduce heat to low and simmer for 20–25 minutes, stirring frequently, until grits are tender and creamy. Add water if mixture becomes too thick.

3

Stir in butter, cheddar cheese, and salt. Keep warm over low heat, stirring occasionally.

4

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced onion, garlic, and celery; sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened.

5

Add shrimp and bay leaf to the skillet. Cook for 3–4 minutes until shrimp turn pink and opaque, stirring gently.

6

Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice. Season with black pepper and discard bay leaf.

7

Divide creamy grits among serving bowls. Top each with shrimp mixture and garnish with fresh parsley.
