Spicy Grits
In the Deep South we tend to incorporate grits into so many wonderful dishes. This base can be used to back up scrambled or poached eggs for breakfast or sautéed greens and shrimp for lunch or dinner. I will often chill the leftovers and make grits cakes for another meal. The possibilities are as endless as the Bubba Gump shrimp dishes!
