Ingredients

Scale

Garlic Butter Grits

  • 1 cup Water
  • 1 cup Non-dairy Milk (I used Oat Milk)
  • ½ cup Grits
  • 2 Tablespoons Plant-based Butter
  • 1 clove Garlic (microplaned or diced)
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • ¼ teaspoon Pepper

Chili Garlic Shrimp

  • 1 pound Shrimp (peeled, deveined, and cut in thirds)
  • 1 Tablespoon Chili Garlic Sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • ½ teaspoon Salt

Instructions

Make the Garlic Butter Grits

  1. Bring the water and the oat milk to boil over medium heat.
  2. Once boiling, whisk in the grits and reduce heat to low.
  3. Continue stirring (not constantly but I would not leave it unattended) for about 5 minutes, until thick and creamy.
  4. Whisk in the butter, garlic, salt, and pepper and cook for about 3 more minutes.
  5. Remove from heat and set aside while you make the chili garlic shrimp.

Make the Chili Garlic Shrimp

  1. Peel and devein the shrimp then cut into 1/3 pieces.
  2. In a medium bowl mix together the cut shrimp, chili garlic sauce, olive oil, garlic, and salt, then set aside.
  3. In a large skillet over medium heat cook the sauce-coated shrimp until pink.
  4. Remove from heat and serve on top of the garlic butter grits. Garnish with green onion and enjoy!
