Shrimp and Grits (and Instagram!) by The Pioneer Woman

I made Shrimp and Grits on a recent episode of my Food Network show, and when I made it again yesterday, I decided to document the process on my Instagram story.

Here’s where you can find it: The Pioneer Woman on Instagram

(To access the story, just click on the round “Shrimp and Grits” link or click on my photo if it’s before Monday evening.) I enjoy doing step-by-step recipes on Instagram, because it’s captured in the moment and you never know what can happen. (You’ll see a cameo by Paige, who stirred the grits for me, and by Henry, who was just standing next to me and waiting for me to drop something.)

To make the Shrimp and Grits, here are the basic steps (which you’ll see in living color on Instagram):

1. Make cheese grits. Set them aside.
2. Saute shrimp in cajun spice and butter. Remove from the pan.
3. To the same skillet add chopped bacon, onion, red bell pepper, and jalapeno. Cook on high heat.
4. Add tomato paste and cook for a couple of minutes longer.
5. Add hot sauce.
6. Add broth to make it saucy and cook until thick.
7. Add the shrimp back in.
8. Serve the sauce shrimp over the cheese grits and sprinkle with green onion!

It is divine and so easy. The printable recipe is below!

My prediction: You’ll kinda love it.

Happy Monday, friends!
