Shrimp & Cheddar Grits

From EatingWell: May/June 2008

The South's version of creamy polenta, grits are easy to make on a weeknight—especially when topped with quickly broiled shrimp and scallions. Use the sharpest Cheddar you can find for these cheesy grits. Serve with: Sautéed greens and a tall glass of iced tea.

Tips from a Southern Gal

I haven't made this - but as a health nut from the south - a few tips... Quick Cooking grits are for the birds. Get the real stuff cook low and simmer... It's the difference between grit and mush. Also - instead of water - sub in skim milk as well in your liquid mix. And sharp cheddar is key. Also bacon - in moderation never hurt anyone. A slice or two that you then cook the shrimp in bacon grease.. Looks like a solid recipe - just a few tips from a shrimp and grit lover.

Yummy!

This is sooo delish; however, I didn't use the seasonings for the shrimp, instead I made the grits as directed, but I marinated the shrimp for 30 minutes in a pre-made "Sesame and Ginger Marinade." I broiled the shrimp as directed.....It was AWESOME....and for an extra KICK add fine chopped Cilantro on top!!!!!!! It's so good you're gonna wanna slap yo momma!!

Pros: quick and easy to make

Hubby and I LOVED this. I really loved how quick and easy it was for BIG payout. Definitely "Calorie Worthy" (Except I wanted to go back for seconds.)
