Reviews
Amazing dish nice amount spice and heat. The entire family enjoyed it. Adjusted the ingredients so there was more than 3 shrimp and the amount of grits fed our family of 4 without a ton of leftovers. Will make again and again.
This makes no sense. Grits that will feed 10 and 3 shrimp?
Creamiest Grits ever
