Shrimp and grits are a classic combination that serves as a palate-pleasing palette for chefs to combine flavors and create culinary masterpieces. We pan sear succulent shrimp, finish it with nutty brown butter and grainy mustard, then serve it atop creamy grits infused with smoked Gouda. It may sound and taste decadent, but this stunner keeps the calories low so you can keep living the high life.
