    I'm from the deep south. This is southern delicacy that's usually cooked on Sunday's or for special occasions and holidays. Grits pair well with salmon croquettes too. I didn't cook grits for a while because I had me an Al Green moment a couple of years ago. But when I do, I can only eat them with cheese. Your dish looks delish as always.

    I've always wanted to know how to make tasty soul food dishes, and unfortunately I avoided the kitchen growing up because my mama mocked me a Lot because I needed measurements. Sensitive me decided that I would be rich and have a chef when I grew up....Well you're it! I made this two days ago because I was craving grits as my mama could make them perfectly growing up. I was proud of the grits and though t about making them with the shrimp from your quick shrimp and grits recipe- buuuut, my mama happened to have some catfish already and said I could use hers, she told me she had some fish fry but I was like: I wanna follow the recipe- I went to three stores looking for the better than bouillon lobster but no one has it , so I substituted it with some shrimp pasted from the Asian store. I bought your seasonings too. If I tell you that my mama made a happy plate...i ' m going to order th at Lobster base because I'm curious to know how it tastes...it took me forever though.

    Ooh my my… Looking good! I have prepared shrimp and grits many times, but now… I got to go with fish and grits. I really like the jalapeño and onion add in to the cheesy grits. I try to keep stone ground grits on hand. These grits take longer to cook, but people who say they don’t care for grits, love the stone ground grits. I use a method I learned watching ATK fixing shrimp and grits. Toasting the grits with a TBS of butter a few minutes, then cook in heavy cream and whole milk about 30 minutes. Can’t Waite to fix this.
