Hyvee Culinary Expert Tip
Chile peppers contain volatile oils that can burn your skin and eyes. When working with hot peppers, wear protective gloves.
Remove skillet from heat. Add beer, bone broth, lemon zest and juice, and smoked paprika. Return to heat; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium. Simmer, uncovered, for 6 to 8 minutes or until reduced by one-third. Stir in shrimp.
Ladle grits into individual bowls and top with shrimp mixture, garnish with chives. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
