In a medium-sized saucepot add chicken stock and set over medium-high heat.
Bring the stock to a boil and add the grits.
Reduce the heat to low and cook uncovered for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the shredded cheese, heavy cream, and butter.
Stir it in until melted, turn off the heat, cover, and set aside.
For shrimp:
Season your shrimp with Cajun seasoning and set aside.
Add a 12-inch high-sided skillet to a burner over medium heat.
Add butter and let melt.
Once melted, add the prepared shrimp, honey, lemon juice, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard.
Saute until the shrimp is opaque, about 3-5 minutes. The shrimp should curl a little, be careful not to overcook, you don’t want to end up with rubbery shrimp!
Between four bowls or plates, spread a layer of grits and spoon the shrimp and butter sauce on top.
Top with chopped green onions for serving, if desired. Serve immediately.
