Linda's Notes:

SO, being from NY, I could not imagine this combo. After one taste out to eat one night, I was sold; may not be southern but my family loves my northern version!

Comments from the Test Kitchen: Kitchen Crew

Super smooth and satisfying, this recipe could easily be doubled for a potluck or party. Next time I may add butter to the grits for an even creamier consistency. Yum!

 

Directions

1
cook grits as per directions, add cheese. Reduce heat to warm while preparing shrimp.
Melt butter, saute' garlic & onions until softened. Add shrimp, toss in parsley and lemon juice.
Place grits on warmed plates, top with shrimp, enjoy

I will have to look for the recipe.. i will post it when i find it. It is very similiar. No shrimp but it starts out frying down bacon and onions.Mixing the grits with water and cream plus adding cheese and greens, can be canned greens but my mom used to make it with fresh when i was gowning up. As soon as i find it i will post it.

I can't wait to try this. I was watching a show on Food Network last night on American Classics and this dish was featured at a restaurant that serves it in South Carolina.
