Shrimp and Grits Bake Recipe

"Shrimp and grits became a favorite of mine while I was living in Charleston, South Carolina, for culinary school. I like to order it when a see it on a menu because every chef makes it differently. Baking it all together in one dish is certainly easier and faster than the traditional recipes." Rebecca Lang, Quick-fix southern

4 cups chicken broth

1 cup quick grits

4 ounces cream cheese

1 cup preshredded Monterey Jack cheese

1 pound medium shrimp

1/2 medium red onion

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

1 clove garlic, minced

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/2 cup preshredded sharp Cheddar cheese

Method

Preheat the oven to 375?F. Lightly spray a 7 by 11-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

Combine the broth and grits in a large stockpot. Turn the heat to medium-high and cook for 20 minutes, stirring very often. Remove from the heat and stir in the cream cheese and Monterey Jack.

While the grits are cooking, peel and chop the shrimp. Set aside.

Finely chop the red onion. Heat the butter in a small skillet. Add the red onion and garlic. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or until softened. Stir into the grits. Add the shrimp, parsley, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to the grits. Stir to combine. Spoon into the prepared dish. Top with the Cheddar cheese.

Bake for 25 minutes.
