Shrimp and Grits: The Easy Version

A few months ago I promised to start posting a few of the recipes that I cook because if I can make it anyone can! I'm a little domestically challenged. :)

I have been getting bored with my usual recipes, so I decided to branch out and try Shrimp and Grits. Many of the Shrimp and Grits recipes I found intimidated me. There were so many ingredients, and I wasn't really sure what I was supposed to do with all of them. Although, I hear that the complicated looking Shrimp and Grits recipe is not that hard to make I decided to come up with an easy version. I cooked the easy version Thursday night, and my husband loved it! I thought I would share the "recipe" with all of my blog friends that struggle in the kitchen like I do.

Shrimp and Grits: The Easy Version
*Have your local grocery store (Kroger) cook a pound of shrimp for you in Old Bay Seasoning
*Peel your shrimp
*Cook Quick Grits according to package directions
*Once grits thicken, add spices to taste (Keep grits warm on stove while adding ingredients)
*I used salt, pepper, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, and a Cajun seasoning. I found all these in the spice section of the grocery store.
*Add grated sharp cheddar to grits. For an extra little kick, you can use extra sharp cheddar instead.
*Serve grits in bowl and add your shrimp on top.
*If you want a little more spice, add a touch of Tabasco sauce to your serving.
*Enjoy!!!
