Shrimp & Grits

I woke up over the weekend with a massive craving for homemade breakfast.  Homemade waffles to be exact.  But when I went into the kitchen, I realized I used up the last of the coconut milk and waffles just weren’t in the cards.  And it was freezing outside, so going to the store just wasn’t an option.

But what I did have was all of the ingredients for shrimp and grits {super odd, right?}.  So never having made shrimp and grits before, I mixed and stirred until I had myself a warm breakfast that was way more delish than I could have ever anticipated.  I posted a proud picture on Instagram and thought about one thing that would transform this already fab dish into something amazing – lobster stock.

And I was right.  Lobster stock was a game changer.  The grits were creamy and complex without feeling heavy like restaurant grits {filled with milk and cheese} and they balanced perfectly with simple shrimp and eggs.
