To make 4 servings, begin by cooking grits according to package directions. Once they’re just about done, whisk in Cabot Salted Butter. Slowly add in the grated Cabot Sharp Cheddar, continuing to whisk. Remove from heat once the cheese has melted and the grits are smooth and have thickened. Cover and set aside.

For the BBQ shrimp, season shrimp with salt and pepper. Heat half of the canola oil over medium-high heat in the skillet. Add shrimp and cook until pink and beginning to curl, about 1 to 2 minutes per side, and transfer to a plate.

Add remaining oil to the skillet and add the minced onion and garlic, stirring. Then add the wine, lemon juice, fresh rosemary, hot sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook, stirring, until reduced to about 2 tablespoons.

Return shrimp to the skillet and stir until just heated through, about 30 seconds. Turn off the heat and add Cabot Salted Butter, 1 or 2 cubes at a time until it is all incorporated. Stir in fresh parsley and, if needed, season with additional salt and pepper. Serve over warm grits and dig in!
