What are Grits?
Made from corn, grits are similar in texture to creamy polenta and they can be served any time of day and enjoy them sweet or savory! I use regular grits in this recipe, but you can use quick cooking (a finer grind) or stone ground (a coarser grind). Depending on the grind, grits can need more or less time so check your package.
How To Make Shrimp and Grits
Shrimp and grits is a simple dish to prepare, and it’s the ultimate in comfort food. Depending on the type of grits you use, the cooking time can vary (check your package to be sure). Voila!! Spoon the shrimp mixture over the cheesy grits.
Serving Suggestions & Leftovers
Shrimp and grits are rich and filling, so if you’re adding a side, keep it light. I like to garnish them with green onions or fresh parsley. Serve this easy shrimp and grits recipe alongside a simple tossed salad or even just with some cornbread or dinner rolls to sop up the leftover butter from the shrimp. Keep leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, storing the shrimp and grits separately. Grits will thicken as they cool, so add additional broth or a splash of heavy cream when reheating.
