Shrimp and Grits recipe with Birdies Pimento Cheese

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
