Grits With Greens And Shrimp - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups milk
2 cups water
1 cup grits, uncooked
1 garlic clove, chopped
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 - 1/2 cup butter
1 -2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1 lb shrimp, peeled
1/3 1/3 lb turnip greens or 1/3 lb arugula

Preparation

Bring the milk and water to a simmer in a heavy-bottomed nonstick saucepan over medium heat.
Add the grits and the garlic and bring just to a boil.
Cook until soft and creamy, adding heavy cream as needed, to make a loose but not runny mixture.
Add as much butter and cheese as desired, stirring to make sure the cheese doesn't stick.
Add the shrimp and cook a few minutes more, until pink.
Fold in the washed and dried greens and remove from the heat. The greens will cook in the hot grits.
