Grits and Shrimp

For brunch today ( we got up real late) I decided to have grits with something.   Heard of grits with shrimp but never tried it.   Grits were prepared according to package directions along with the water I sprinkled in celery seed - love the taste of celery, sea salt, and olive oil.  I would have added a packet of chicken bouillon (low sodium) but was out of that.    After I fixed mine,  I read that some people use milk instead of water.  I would rather use water myself


  After it cooks enough - it's put in a casserole dish.   On top goes my shredded 3 oz's. pepper jack cheese along with 3 oz's. cheddar.  Shrimp is thawed and placed on top with paprika, another fave. of mine.
  Placed in oven on 350 when all is looking good - it's eaten right away. Yummmmmm


Canned apples I put up in October heated with cinnamon sugar and honey along with the dish.  Now for a nap.

That sounds very yummy! I think I would love it, I know I love grits and shrimp, so combined, I think they would be a winner!
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and checking out my cottage dreams.
Hugs, Cindy

These sound so easy to prepare and with such elegant and tasty looking results. I have a brunch coming up Friday. I'm going to check to make sure my guest are allergic to shell fish.
