Ingredients

Creamy Grits

2 cups milk

1 1/2 cups water

2 cloves garlic, crushed

1/4 tsp salt

3/4 cup grits

Shrimp

1 Tbsp oil

1 red pepper, chopped

1 cubanelle or green frying pepper, chopped

1 small onion, chopped

1 tsp minced garlic

1 lb peeled large shrimp

3/4 tsp each low-sodium Old Bay Seasoning (McCormick) and Cajun seasoning

4 plum tomatoes, coarsely chopped

Grits:

Bring milk, water, garlic and salt to a boil in a medium saucepan. Whisk in grits, cover, reduce heat to simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, 20 minutes or until smooth and thickened.

This looks like a great recipe! Try adding a couple of good thick applewood smoked bacon slices when sauteing vegetables, and add a couple of drops of Tabasco to the grits, to get the "Native Coonie" flavor.
