A true Southern fantasy dream come true! Shrimp and grits in the same dish. I got the idea from a friend at work, Sheryl.

If you love shrimp and grits, you'll love this casserole. The grits are creamy and full of flavor. Soaking the shrimp in lemon juice along with veggies adds bright flavor. This casserole is great for dinner, brunch, or even a holiday breakfast.
