So often one thing leads to another, and so it was when I made Shrimp & Grits with a Cajun Gastrique not too long ago! My sister came to visit shortly after and while she missed the Shrimp and Grits, she proposed we make New Orleans Grillades & Grits. It was a good call and we were off on yet another New Orleans inspired adventure!

So it might seem that I’m on a bit of a grits kick. I made Simple Easy Cheesy Grits recently to go with my Shrimp & Grits with a Cajun Gastrique. And today I’m posting another Cheesy Grits recipe to go with Grillades & Grits, my sister and I recently made. It’s not that you just can’t have too many grits recipes (but maybe you can’t!) but that both of these grits recipes are really good, and they both have advantages.

A while back, I shared my Shrimp & Grits with a Cajun Gastrique. Well, that’s quite a version of Shrimp and Grits. Let’s just say it’s not yo Mama’s Shrimp and Grits and it’s divine! And it takes just a bit more time with a few more steps than the average recipe – but it’s all so worth it. But that’s the kind of recipe you want to concentrate on and keep the grits part simple. So simple, but still delicious, is this recipe for Simple Instant Cheesy Grits.

Even if you’ve had Shrimp & Grits before, you’ve probably never had any like these. Deeply spiced, earthy shrimp, garlic and peppers with bacon – the dish is fantastic on its own – but this has a twist – it’s punctuated by a Cajun Gastrique.
