This one of my all time favorites for many reasons, It's quick, tasty, easy and filling. Always a great last minute choice when I've forgotten to take something out before leaving for the day.I do vary the spices occasionaly adding ginger and paprika to the spice mixture.

From www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/southern-shrimp-and-grits/ reduced to 2 servings. I didn't use Cajun seasoning nor green onions. I was out of Cheddar Cheese and substituted Aged Havarti and we liked it better. Also, I screwed up and put the garlic in the grits, but tasted great!
