Ingredients
- ¾ cup grits quick cook
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup milk
- 3-4 cups mild cheddar
- 1 pound breaded shrimp
Instructions
For the grits:
- In a medium sauce pan, bring the milk and water to a low boil over medium heat.
- Add in the grits and lower the temperature slightly.
- Continuously stir the grits until they are done in approximately 5-7 minutes. The consistency should be like oatmeal.
- Remove from heat.
- Stir in the cheese, stopping at 3 cups and adding more if preferred. The cheese will thicken the grits and the grits will also thicken naturally as they rest.
For the shrimp: (if using an air fryer or prepare according to directions if using oven)
- Set the air fryer to 390 degrees.
- Cook the shrimp in a single layer for 5 minutes.
- Then, flip the shrimp and cook for an additional 4 minutes.
