Shrimp and Grits



This was a yummy new favorite!!! I pulled this recipe from a Rachel Ray magazine a while back and hadnt tried it until last night. It was so full of flavor and very creamy. When thing I will change for next time was to cut down on the leom juice, it really only needed a tablespoon rather thn 2, so it's not too overpowering with lemon. Other than that, it was GREAT! Hope you enjoy it as much as the Corder family did. CHEERS!
