4. Stir in the shrimp and cook until pink, about 2 3 minutes per side. Remove from heat.
5. Once grits are cooked, stir in heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and butter until fully combined and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Serve the shrimp over a bed of creamy grits, garnish with fresh parsley, and enjoy!
