BBQ Shrimp over Grits

BBQ Shrimp over Grits

To my Cookies residing outside of The Boot state, please do not expect to see BBQ sauce in this recipe! BBQ Shrimp is a New Orleans original. I have no clue why it’s called BBQ shrimp. And, to be honest, I do NOT care! It’s sooo delicious! 

And, the sauce is super buttery! It’s meant to be sponged up by some crusty french bread. In fact, it makes an amazing po boy! But, still I was in the mood for grits…
                                         

FLAVORRRRR!!! This would be perfect for brunch. Go ahead and try it! Impress some folks! It’s too easy of a recipe not to try.

Love,

    Had a couple fishing buddies over last night and took out some Gulf shrimp and cooked this recipe. Of course being Cajun I only used it as a guide but I did close. Very good and there were no left overs. Keep it up.
