Shrimp and Cheddar Grits Recipe

Recipe By Melissas Southern Style Kitchen

These shrimp and cheddar grits are a homespun family favorite and always a welcome sight on my dinner table. In it, tender shrimp are boldly seasoned and smothered with a buttery lemon sauce then served ladled over a bowl of cheesy stone ground grits. It's a classic that can only be described as lip smacking comfort food that's guaranteed to be devoured.
