Ingredients
- 1 cup stone-ground grits
- 3 cups water
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 fresh jalapenos, diced (seeds removed for less heat)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 4 lamb chops
- 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 cup buttermilk
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
In a medium pot, bring water to a boil. Add salt and gradually whisk in the stone-ground grits. Cook on low heat, stirring frequently, until thickened (about 20-25 minutes).
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and diced jalapenos into the grits. Remove from heat and keep warm.
Season lamb chops with Cajun seasoning. In a skillet, heat honey over medium heat and add lamb chops, cooking about 4-5 minutes on each side until desired doneness. Remove and let rest.
In the same skillet, add shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and opaque. Season with salt and pepper.
For the cheesy eggs, whisk together eggs and milk, season with salt and pepper, then scramble over medium heat until cooked through.
For the buttermilk biscuits, preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Add buttermilk and melted butter, stirring until just combined. Turn dough onto a floured surface, knead lightly, roll out, and cut into biscuits.
Place biscuits on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
