Toppings:

Instructions

  • Place chicken broth and grits into your crockpot.
  • Next add in garlic powered, onion powder, shredded cheese, cream cheese, parmesan cheese and hot sauce. Mix until combined. Cover and cook on LOW for 3 hours.
  • Once cooking is done, stir in 1/2 cup of half and half. You may add more broth at this time if you think the grits need more liquid.
  • In a separate bowl, toss shrimp in melted butter, garlic, optional hot sauce and salt/pepper. Add shrimp to the top of the grits. Cover and cook for an addition 30-45 mins until shrimp are done cooking. Serve grits, topped with shrimp and top with some diced chives.
