Shrimp n Grits for dinner

Shrimp and Grits is a classic Southern dish that’s quick enough for a simple weeknight meal.

You can even cook the grits hands-off while you prepare the shrimp.

These are a few of my favorite quintessential Southern dishes that I came to love during my few years living in the South.

I was shocked when I first discovered how ridiculously easy it is to make shrimp and grits, because it’s such a typical restaurant dish that I think of as really flavorful and full of pizzazz.

But it actually makes sense as the perfect way to show off all the local, wild shrimp that is so good and fresh in the area. The simple flavors enhance the shrimp while still letting it shine.

Living in Coastal Georgia, I would often drive down the road and see people selling fresh shrimp on the side of the road, freshly caught from their boats.
