3/4 cup instant grits
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
1 1/4 pounds large peeled, deveined shrimp
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup dry white wine

Bring 3 cups of water to a boil in a medium covered saucepan over high heat.

Uncover and slowly whisk in the grits, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.

Meanwhile, sprinkle the shrimp with salt and pepper.

Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are opaque and cooked through and the peas are tender, 2 to 3 minutes (if the pan gets too dry, add water 1 tablespoon at a time).
