Comfort Food: Shrimp and Grits

Homemade mac and cheese is good, but shrimp and grits? Oh man, this is love. The recipe is from Tyler Florence, but I modified it a bit. I used 1% milk and chicken broth instead of milk and cream for the grits, and I added a bit of parmesan and garlic to them as well. For the saucy part of the recipe, I used chicken andouille instead of pork and using already peeled and deveined shrimp makes this recipe come together really quickly.

Shrimp and grits


I may well have a new favorite meal. This is comfort food at its best -- creamy, salty, and a little bit spicy, with loads of shrimp on top. I saw Tyler Florence make this on tv this weekend, and it looked pretty good ... and since the weather is still so cool, I figured now would be the perfect time to try it. I made half the recipe, and now I have the most delicious leftovers that anyone could ever hope to have. For the grits, I used more milk and less cream and I added a couple of handfuls of parmesan. The recipe is here. It is now your mission to go try this yourself, because it's just that good.
