I have spent most of my adult life saying I ate enough grits (grits w/ eggs, grits w/ cheese, grits w/chili, grits w/ wieners) as a young child to last a lifetime, but this recipe would definitely be worth giving it a shot again! Ah- and btw, Trader Joe's often has Wild Blue shrimp caught off Baja California that's great! Hope fully the price won't go up too much now. <em>Andrea (FFC): I only started eating grits as an adult, after I met my husband. So, I'm game for all of the above but might skip the wieners and eat sausage instead. Thanks for the tip on TJs, although the nearest one to me is in Santa Fe. Even Omaha is getting one before Denver. What's up with that?</em> Hmmm… I have spent most of my adult life saying I ate enough grits (grits w/ eggs, grits w/ cheese, grits w/chili, grits w/ wieners) as a young child to last a lifetime, but this recipe would definitely be worth giving it a shot again!

I'm happy I stumbled on your site. My grandmother use to make us shrimp and grits, but this recipe might even be better than hers! <em>Andrea (FFC): Thanks for stopping through and taking time to leave a comment.
