The grits are cooking! I took a little bacon and pan fried for a bit of grease (1 strip) - reserved the crumbled bacon to top dish. Sauteed shrimp, snap peas, onion, red pepper and some mushrooms in the bacon fat. Added some garlic and lemon juice and a dash of Franks and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes - will serve over the grits which I made with water/salt/butter/whole milk and will add in sharp white cheddar and a little parm. I’m hungry!!!
The grits take a while! 15-20 minutes it says with the water, then add the milk and 10 more. Does that seem right?
