Cook for 1 hour and 15 minutes at a very low simmer, stirring occasionally. **The grits will stick to the bottom of the pan, so make sure not to scrape the bottom of the pan.**.
Add hot water if the grits become to dry.
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and cheese if desired.
In a separate pot add shrimp to boiling water. Cook for 3 minutes.
Add shrimp to top grits served in a bowl and season to taste with salt and pepper.another variation on the shrimp would be to saute them in salt, pepper, butter, garlic until just turned pink. wither way is great!
