Time 1h25m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup quick-cooking grits
2 tablespoons margarine
1 bunch green onions, chopped
1 green bell pepper, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound peeled and deveined small shrimp
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
¾ cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chilies
½ teaspoon black pepper
¼ cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x12 inch baking dish.
  • Bring chicken broth and salt to a boil in a large saucepan over high heat. Stir in the grits, return to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low, and continue cooking for 20 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Meanwhile, melt the margarine in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the green onions, green pepper, and garlic; cook until the peppers have softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the shrimp, and cook until they begin to firm.
  • Stir the Monterey Jack cheese, 3/4 cup Cheddar cheese, shrimp and vegetable mixture, canned tomatoes, and black pepper into the grits; pour into prepared baking dish and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese.
  • Bake in preheated oven until the cheese is bubbly and beginning to brown, 30 to 45 minutes.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for me, but it was still very good. The shrimp were cooked perfectly and the grits were creamy and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again, but I will use less cayenne pepper next time.
