Ingredients
  

TO MAKE THE SHRIMP & GRITS:

  • 4 Bacon Strips
  • 6 Just Shrimp Nuggets
  • 1/2 cup Quick 5-Minute Grits
  • 1 cup Chicken Stock
  • 1 cup Whole Milk
  • 1 tbsp. Salted Butter
  • 1/2 cup Mild Cheddar Cheese, shredded
  • Salt + Pepper, to taste
  • Chives, for garnish

GARLIC BUTTER DRIZZLE:

  • 1/4 cup Melted Butter
  • 1 Garlic Clove, minced
  • 2 tsp. Cajun Seasoning

Instructions
 

  • Brown the bacon in a large saucepan over medium heat. Once crisp, remove the bacon, leaving the bacon grease in the pan. 
  • Add the shrimp nuggets to the pan and brown in the grease for 5 - 6 minutes per side, or until golden and internal temperature has reached 145F. 
  • Meanwhile, bring the chicken stock and milk to a low boil in a stockpot. Once boiling, add the grits and turn the heat to low. Cover and continue to cook for 5 - 7 minutes, or until thickened. 
  • Turn off the heat and fold-in the butter and cheddar cheese. Add salt + pepper, to taste. 
  • Mix the melted butter, garlic, and cajun seasoning in a small bowl. 
  • To serve, add grits to a bowl, top with 3 shrimp nuggets, bacon, chives, and a drizzle of the garlic butter. Enjoy immediately.
