This is a great recipe when you have a lot of people over. 1 pot... that's all and make clean up fast so you have more time to have fun. It can be made early and put to the side on low until you are ready to serve. I like to serve this with my cheddar cheese and garlic biscuits.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Made in one pot, these shrimp and grits are pure Southern comfort food and super easy to make. The creamy grits are full of fresh veggies that add a lot of flavor to the dish. There's just a touch of spice that's nice with the sweet shrimp. A versatile recipe that can be served for brunch or dinner. We added a cheddar garlic drop biscuit for a delicious meal.
