Crockpot Shrimp And Grits Recipe

This creamy shrimp and grits recipe is so simple, it only takes about 10 minutes of active prep time and then the crockpot takes over and you get to go about your business. If you're worried that this dish might be spicy because of the jalapeno pepper and hot sauce, don't be. The slow cooking process tames a lot of the heat. But if you prefer a milder dish, simply leave out the hot sauce and/or the jalapeno. Most kids love the creamy consistency and mild flavor of grits. The shrimp are added right at the end and cook very quickly in the hot grits mixture. You just want to cook them until they turn pink. Arrange them on top of the grits for a more elegant presentation and sprinkle over some fresh thyme leaves or chopped parsley if you're feeling fancy.
