JEN'S GEORGIA COUNTRY STYLE SHRIMP N GRITS
this recipe is very special to me - as this recipe was picked and printed in the Blue Crab Bay Co.'s 2014 Calendar. Since then - I've had it published in 2 magazines; it seems it's not just one of my family's favorite - but some others like it as well. I hope if you try it - that you & yours enjoy it too...
