Description
From one of gooseberry patch's newest cookbooks ("fall, family & friends") comes this very southern recipe for shrimp & grits. Now i am not southern (my dh is), but we both love grits. I do know this dish is very traditional in the southeast. In a check on amazon, i discovered a cookbook devoted entirely to shrimp & grits, can you believe it? This is an easy version to be made in the crock pot. Y'all, i haven't try it yet, but as soon as i find the grits (scarce here in the southwest) i'm going to — dh can't wait!
