Shrimp and Grits

kept byIlanaKS
recipe bySerious Eats
Notes: 

yield: serves 4, active time 1 hour, total time 1 hour

Suggested Tweaks: You could always go with herb grits in place of the cheese version in this recipe, just toss in some sliced scallions and thyme. And since this is a breakfast dish, topping it off with a poached or fried egg wouldn't hurt at all.
