Description
This recipe for shrimp and grits is a combination of suggestions from my friends with a few enhancements of my own. The result is a rich and flavorful shrimp and grits recipe that will have you saying ‘Yum!’ I know you want to add a ton of cheese and butter, but you have to trust me that you won’t need it! I served this dish on Christmas morning with a light lemonade infused with strawberries and mint.
