Crock Pot Low Country Shrimp and Grits

Recipe #183629 | ½ day | 20 min prep | add private note

From one of Gooseberry Patch's newest cookbooks ("Fall, Family & Friends" comes this very Southern recipe for Shrimp & Grits. Now I am not Southern (my DH is), but we both love grits. I do know this dish is very traditional in the Southeast. In a check on Amazon, I discovered a cookbook devoted ENTIRELY to shrimp & grits, can you believe it? This is an easy version to be made in the crock pot. Y'all, I haven't try it yet, but as soon as I find the grits (scarce here in the southwest) I'm going to — DH can't wait!

SERVES 4 -6 (change servings and units)

This is very good. The flavors melded well, and it was easy to do. THE MAN says I can add this to my short rotation of things we love!

    We loved this recipe! The grits were so soft and the flavors melded together wonderfully. I had eaten low land grits with shrimp in Savannah, GA. I didn't think there was tomatoes or green chilies in it so I left those out. Loved this w/o but want to try the tomatoes/chilies sometime.
