Season the shrimp liberally with salt and pepper, and optionally add other spices like paprika, garlic powder, or Old Bay seasoning. Cook the shrimp in a hot skillet with butter or oil until they are pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side. - For the grits: Use stone-ground grits for a more flavorful and creamy dish. Bring the grits to a boil in water or milk, then reduce heat to low and simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season the grits with salt and pepper, and optionally add other ingredients like cheese, bacon, or vegetables. - For the sauce: The sauce is what really brings this dish together. Use a flavorful stock, such as chicken or vegetable stock, and add in diced tomatoes, onions, and peppers. Season the sauce with salt, pepper, and Cajun seasoning, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. - For assembly: To assemble the dish, spoon the grits into individual bowls or plates. Top the grits with the shrimp and sauce, and garnish with chopped green onions and parsley. Serve immediately.
