- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions:
For the Cajun Shrimp:
In a bowl, combine the Cajun seasoning, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Toss the peeled and deveined shrimp in the Cajun seasoning mixture until they are well coated. Let them marinate for about 15-20 minutes.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp to the skillet.
Cook the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and opaque.
Once cooked, remove the shrimp from the skillet and set them aside.
For the Banzé (Grits):
In a medium saucepan, bring the water or chicken broth to a boil.
Gradually whisk in the stone-ground grits. Reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan.
Cook the grits, stirring occasionally, for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and have absorbed the liquid.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, heavy cream, and unsalted butter. Mix until the cheese is melted and the mixture is creamy.
Season the grits with salt and black pepper to taste.
To Serve:
Spoon a generous portion of the creamy grits (banzé) onto plates or into shallow bowls.
Top the grits with the cooked Cajun shrimp.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of freshness.
