Creole Shrimp & Grits Recipe

Excuse me, that was so rude of me. I just couldn’t help it.

That’s what I’d be saying to you, had we been at the same table enjoying this Creole Shrimp. Because I would have been licking my bowl. Seriously, I did.

This meal is magical.

I liked my plate…in front of the boys…and we all had a good laugh about it. Despite my horrible manners.

But seriously, just look at it. It’s not just the colors….can you taste the flavors too?!

A little tang from the tomatoes, a little punch from the white wine, a little zing from the Cajun seasoning. All combined with delicious shrimp and creamy grits. Ahhhhhhh.

Now you get why I licked my bowl. 😉
