Shrimp & Grits with Birdie's Pimento Cheese

by Robin Allen October 06, 2020

Y’know, dinner is just so DAILY! One of the easiest recipes to get dinner on the table is Shrimp and Grits. I swear, thawing the shrimp is the longest part of the process. If you’re lucky enough to have fresh, well you’re mighty lucky indeed.

It's a simple process to kick it up by adding Birdie’s Pimento Cheese. I like the combination of Jalapeño and Garlic Parmesan Pimento Cheese in mine, but your favorite combo is just right with me. Send me a pic! I’d love to see it.

Here’s how we do it. This recipe makes 4 servings
