Notes

  • For the grits, in addition to the recipe linked in the ingredients, you can also use my Instant Pot Grits recipe or my Slow Cooker Grits recipe if you wish. All three cooking methods are delicious!
  • To store. Prepare bite-sized grits through baking and cooling; remove from muffin tin and plate onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover grits tightly with wrap and refrigerate for up to 4 days. The shrimp is best when cooked fresh
  • To reheat. When ready to serve, bake the bite-sized grits in a 350º F oven until warmed throughout, about 5 - 10 minutes.
  • Cook the shrimp. While grits are reheated in the oven, prepare the shrimp as directed above. The shrimp are best when cooked just prior to serving.
  • To serve. Transfer the grits to a serving platter and top with the shrimp. Add fresh parsley for garnish.
