Shrimp and Grits, Separately

Love shrimp? Love cheese grits? Sure. But, some of us don’t like them together. You know who you are: people who don’t like their food to touch on the plate. These two recipes are perfect for company or a weeknight dinner and they are each super easy.

I served this all in one bowl, but feel free to separate.

With the addition of eggs to the mixture, these cheese grits resemble a soufflé. You have the option to add fresh, diced jalapeños to this recipe, but I opted to serve them on the side.

Cheese Grits

Adapted from Stephanie March, Food Network

These grits are cheesy, fluffy, and delicious. With the addition of eggs to the mixture, the finished product resembles a soufflé. You can also add fresh, diced jalapeños to this dish to spice things up.

Beach Shrimp is one of the easiest recipes for a crowd or to make when you are actually at the beach. It is shrimp, Italian dressing and lemon in a pan. That’s pretty much it. The sauce is delicious, so be sure to have a loaf of French bread to sop up the juice.

These are made in separate dishes and can be served separately. We eat the cheese grits the next morning for breakfast.
