Lower the heat and let the grits cook for 45 to 55 minutes until almost ready.

Add salt and pepper to the grits.

Add 2-3 tablespoons of butter to the grits.

In a separate pan, add 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil for the shrimp.

Add the shrimp to the pan and season with salt and pepper.

Add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the shrimp.

Add hot sauce to the grits for flavor.

Stir in some aged white cheddar cheese into the grits.

Spoon the cheese grits into a bowl and top with 3-4 shrimp per serving.

Finish with a touch of hot sauce over the shrimp and grits.
