Shrimp and Grits image

A simple, yet delicious, way to prepare shrimp and grits. Preparing the grits, chilling them in a loaf pan, slicing them, and then frying is an interesting twist. It gives the grits a little crunch outside and they're smooth inside. The creamy shrimp sauce takes no time to throw together. We added a dash of hot sauce and Creole seasoning and it was perfect. Paula leaves this open to personal preference control the seasoning to your preference. These shrimp and grits are elegant enough to serve for a special occasion but simple enough to enjoy any time.
