Shrimp and Grits

I always feel like T and I get caught in the same conundrum month to month. What's for dinner? Chicken? No, I'm tired of chicken. Pork chops? No, I'm tired of pork chops. Pizza? No, I'm tired of pizza. So, needless to say, I am always looking for new recipes. And I finally found a good one! Shrimp and Grits is really easy (please ignore the quality of the pictures, I was using T's phone because mine was dead!)

Only 4 ingredients (6 if you include salt and cheese)

I buy the extra small, cooked and deveined, with tails off. I bought the cheapest grits at Wal-Mart and I have been able to make grits 3 times with them (and still have a good bit left over).  I also put onions in shrimp. T had already cut these up for me and had them in the pan when I got home.

 So, I saute my onions with a little butter

And when they get nice and crisp, I add shrimp.

 

I mix the shrimp and and onions and cook onions until they are nice and pink.

 

In the meantime, I start the grits.  I use instant grits and so its  just 7-8 minutes cooked, following instructions on the package.

 

When everything gets ready, I put the grits in a bowl and put the shrimp on top of the grits.

 

 

Then, I top mine with cheese and serve!
