I love grits on a cold day… I actually love grits any time. However, shrimp with grits is pure love on a plate in my opinion.
So for the grits, I used Quaker quick grits, but any brand or type of grits can be substituted.
As for the shrimp, in a pan, I sauté baby Bella mushrooms and chopped green onion in butter. After 5 minutes I added the shrimp (mine were tiger scanpi but any size uncooked shrimp will do) which were seasoned with salt and pepper. Cook until shrimp are pink and cooked through. Pour on top of grits. Very simple.
This is not something I make or eat often, but sometimes you gotta treat yourself, so this morning was a very pleasant morning for me.
