But for now, lets slow down and take a deep breath. And lets be grateful and make the most of whatever our life blesses us with by enjoying this ever-comforting Cajun shrimp and grits recipe.
Where Do Grits Come From?Grits are ground white or yellow corn and coarsely ground for a toothier texture. This native American grain has become a standard gluten-free staple in many pantries. People made the corns nutrition more available through a lye process, and then called ithominy.
In the Southern part of the U.S., grits ground hominy are enjoyed savory or sweet. But one of my favorite ways to have comfort food grits is to pair them with Cajun shrimp for dinner.
