Low Country Shrimp & Creamed Grits image

A classic southern recipe. This is off the package of White Lilly quick grits, they are supposed to be extra good grits because the grit is bigger and they are dry milled which leaves more corn flavor. It says you can use 2 of either the cream of shrimp or cream of mushroom, but I will be down one of each. Cream of shrimp should be easy to find with the Campbell's soups. For the garlic you can use the kind in the jar.
