Return the shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat with the sauce. Stir in the lemon juice and adjust seasoning as needed.
3. Serve:
Plate Grits:
Spoon a generous portion of the creamy grits onto each plate or serving dish.
Top with Shrimp:
Top the grits with the shrimp and spoon some of the sauce over the top.
Garnish:
Garnish with chopped green onions and fresh parsley.
Tips for Success:
Stone-Ground Grits: For the best texture and flavor, use stone-ground grits. Instant or quick grits can be substituted, but they won’t have the same depth of flavor.
Creamy Grits: Adjust the amount of milk or cream to achieve your desired consistency for the grits. They should be creamy but not runny.
Shrimp Cooking: Be careful not to overcook the shrimp; they cook quickly and can become tough if left on the heat too long.
