Chili Cheese Grits and Shrimp

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 ½ Cups Grits
• 3 Cups 1 % MIlk

  The Grits package calls for 6 cups of water. I use ½ milk instead of water
• 3 Cups Water
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 Pound Shrimp
• ½ Tablespoon Cayenne Pepper
• 1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
• 1 Tablespoon Olive Oli
• 7 Ounces Green Chilies
• 2 Cups Cheddar Cheese
• ½ Cup Cream Cheese
• 1 Tablespoon Roasted Garlic

  or 2 Cloves Fresh Garlic
• 2 Eggs
• ½ Teaspoon Salt

Instructions

• 1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  
  Cook Grits According to the Recipe. I use Milk instead of Water. It gives the
  grits a creamier flavor. It takes a little longer but it's worth the boost of
  flavor for the grits
  
  Peel the shells off of the Shrimp
• 2 Rinse Shrimp
• 3 Use your favorite Shrimp Spice. We used Cayenne Pepper and Garlic powder. But
  you could use 2 Tablespoons of Old Bay. Toss the Shrimp in your favorite spice
• 4 Heat Olive Oil. Add The Shrimp to saute until done. About 3 minutes. We cooked
  ours on a salt block. The shrimp is done when it turns pink.

• 7 Add Cream Cheese to the grits
• 8 Add the green chilies to the grits
• 9 Add Roasted garlic To the grits

  eggs
