I make a pretty wicked shrimp and grits. Has jalapeños onions garlic 2 cheeses in it. Also a ton of butter, cream, and bacon grease. You can cheat and make it in the instant pot too!

We just had shrimp and grits a couple nights ago. Pretty damn good. I hope I can say damn on here.

mmmm, shrimp and grits might need to be breakfast tomorrow. I usually dont add the cream until the end though and generally dont go as fancy with peppers and onions. I like mine pretty simple: half water half chicken or seafood stock, salt, mushroom powder, plenty of black pepper, cheddar and gouda.
