This recipe is the BEST shrimp & grits- Ever! I followed the recipe on the back of the grits bag. I don’t want to piss off my N.C. friends,( I once stopped in S.C. for Bar-B-Que & my Aunt in N.C. stayed mad at me for years), but these S.C. grits are great!! So glad I bought a bag heading out of Charleston, in a little country store, going back to Florida. Thank You!

This is my favorite meal. I add 3 hot Italian sausage links removing the casing first and breaking it apart. Cook with bacon and onion then add shrimp. Palmetto white stone ground grits are the best!
