  • In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute.
  • Step 5
  • Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream. Bring to a simmer and let it reduce for 3-4 minutes.

  • Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet, add cayenne pepper (if desired), and stir until heated through.

  • Serve the shrimp and sauce over a generous scoop of cheesy grits.
  • Step 8
