Instructions

Grits - Shrimp

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Cook Grits According to the Recipe. I use Milk instead of Water. It gives the grits a creamier flavor. It takes a little longer but it's worth the boost of flavor for the grits
Peel the shells off of the Shrimp
Rinse Shrimp
Use your favorite Shrimp Spice. We used Cayenne Pepper and Garlic powder. But you could use 2 Tablespoons of Old Bay. Toss the Shrimp in your favorite spice
Heat Olive Oil. Add The Shrimp to saute until done. About 3 minutes. We cooked ours on a salt block. The shrimp is done when it turns pink.
