It seems like grits get a bad rap. The mention of grits often conjures up the image of a lunchlady using an ice cream scoop to plop piles of tasteless mush onto a plate. I get it. That doesn\u2019t sound good at all. But if we judge grits by that standard, then mashed potatoes should also get a bad rap. And we all know that\u00a0mashed potatoes can be amazing<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Just like mashed potatoes, grits are a blank canvas for other flavors. Once you add a bit of cream, seasonings, butter and cheese, those grits will transform into something magical! And we haven\u2019t even gotten to the bacon, Andouille sausage and shrimp yet.<\/p>\n

What are Grits?<\/h4>\n

Grits are simply corn that has been dried and coarsely ground. Before they are cooked, grits are similar to a coarser version of cornmeal. Grits can come in either white or yellow based on the type of corn that was used. Traditionally, grits are cooked in salted water or milk, and they are often served as a breakfast food. However, grits can also be served as a dinner entree, such as in\u00a0Shrimp and Grits<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Shrimp and Grits Casserole<\/h2>\n

I\u2019ve been making that Shrimp and Grits recipe for years. It\u2019s a staple around our house, and my father-in-law requests it every time he comes to visit. I highly (!) recommend that recipe! However, I decided to play around with those flavors recently. The result was this Shrimp and Grits Casserole. It turned out just as good (maybe even better!) than the more traditional version.<\/p>\n

On occasion, I\u2019ll use grits to make a casserole such as this\u00a0Sausage and Cheese Grits Casserole<\/a>. For a grits casserole, you simply cook the grits in a saucepan as normal but then transfer the cooked grits into a casserole dish to bake a little longer. It\u2019s a simple process, and grits casseroles are a fun way to mix up the dinner (or breakfast) routine.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I decided to use the idea of a grits casserole, but combine it with the flavors of a traditional Shrimp and Grits recipe. This Shrimp and Grits Casserole is delicious, and it will absolutely become a regular dinner entree in our house. In fact, we deemed this \u2018company worthy,\u2019 and we plan on making this again when we have friends over for dinner in a couple of weeks.<\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/h4>\n

Yellow Corn Grits.<\/strong>\u00a0Grits by themselves are boring. But in this recipe, the grits got cooked in low-sodium\u00a0chicken stock<\/strong>\u00a0along with\u00a0salt\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0garlic powder<\/strong>. They get cooked until creamy, and then\u00a0half-and-half<\/strong>,\u00a0butter<\/strong>,\u00a0cheddar cheese<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0eggs\u00a0<\/strong>get added. There you have the base of the grits casserole.<\/p>\n

\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Sausage and Bacon.<\/strong>\u00a0In keeping with traditional shrimp and grits recipes, bacon and Andouille sausage are also used in this Shrimp and Grits Casserole. Instead of serving the bacon and sausage on top of the grits, they get stirred into the grits before baking. Sauteed\u00a0bell peppers<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0onions\u00a0<\/strong>also get added at this stage.<\/p>\n

Shrimp.<\/strong>\u00a0Last but not least, peeled, deveined shrimp get sauteed in a bit of\u00a0lemon juice<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0hot sauce<\/strong>. The cooked shrimp get served on top of the casserole once it\u2019s fully baked. And since the shrimp cook so quickly, you can saut\u00e9 them while the casserole is cooling.<\/p>\n

How to Store Leftovers<\/h4>\n

This Shrimp and Grits Casserole makes 8-10 servings, so it\u2019s likely that you will have leftovers. Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. I recommend storing the grits casserole and the shrimp in separate containers. That way, the shrimp won\u2019t get rubbery when they are reheated.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

To reheat, just place the grits casserole in a dry skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring often, until heated through. Add the leftover shrimp and continue cooking for 1-2 minutes until shrimp are hot. I do not recommend freezing the leftovers.<\/p>\n

If you are looking for an amazing shrimp and grits recipe, then consider making a casserole instead. This recipe is definitely a keeper, and I hope you enjoy it as much as we do! Cheers!<\/p>\n
