Directions

GRITS:

  1. In a medium saucepan, bring the water or chicken broth to a boil. Gradually whisk in the grits, then reduce the heat to low.
  2. Cook the grits, stirring occasionally, until they are thick and creamy, about 20-25 minutes.
  3. Stir in the heavy cream, butter, and shredded cheddar cheese until fully melted and combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm.

SNAPPER AND SHRIMP SEASONING:

  1. Pat the red snapper fillets and shrimp dry with paper towels. Season both sides with smoked paprika, Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.

SNAPPER:

  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the red snapper fillets, skin-side down, and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Remove the snapper from the skillet and set aside.

SHRIMP:

  1. In the same skillet, add the butter and minced garlic. Sauté the garlic for 1 minute until fragrant.
  2. Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through. Squeeze the lemon juice over the shrimp and stir to coat.

ASSEMBLE:

  1. Spoon a generous portion of the creamy grits onto each plate.
  2. Place a red snapper fillet on top of the grits and arrange the cooked shrimp around the fish.
  3. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
  4. Enjoy the dish hot, with a side of sautéed greens or a simple salad if desired.
