Preparing the Creamy Grits

1. Bring water or chicken broth to a boil in a medium saucepan.
2. Slowly add the grits, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.

Cooking the Shrimp

1. Preheat the oven broiler to high heat.
2. Line a baking pan with parchment paper or foil and arrange the marinated shrimp in a single layer.
