Smoked Paprika Shrimp with Grits

Shrimp is real cheap right now here on the Gulf Coast. This is another quick meal that tasstes great!

Ingredients:
1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tbsp olive oil
smoked parika (smoked is better than sweet hungarian paprika but it works too, smoked just gives it a better flavor)
fresh ground black pepper
coarse sea salt
4 green onions, diced
box of quick grits
any shredded cheese, we'll use sharp or jack

Directions:

Shrimp;
Toss the shrimp with 1/2 of the olive oil.
Coat with parika, pepper, & salt.
Heat the remaining oilve oil in a non-stick skillet on medium high heat.
Add shrimp, cook 1-2 minutes on ea side or just until they turn pink.

Grits;
Cook the grits accoring to directions, fold in the cheese, simple as that

Spoon a pile of grits on your plate, top with shrimp, a couple of shakes of Tabasco doesn't hurt, sprinkle on the green onions, you got yourself a great meal!
