This episode's recipe:

SHRIMP & GRITS

GRITS INGREDIENTS:

2 cups heavy cream

2 cups chicken broth

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup stone ground grits (quick grits will work too!)

4 cloves garlic

4 tablespoons butter

1/2 teaspoon pepper

CAJUN SHRIMP INGREDIENTS:

16 ounces large or medium shrimp (peeled, deveined, and tails removed)

2 tablespoons butter

1 tablespoon Louisiana hot sauce

1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning

GRITS INSTRUCTIONS:

- In a pot over medium heat, add milk, chicken broth, and salt. Bring to a boil, then slowly whisk in the grits and minced garlic.

- Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 20 minutes, whisking frequently.   (If grits begin to stick to pan, reduce heat. If it gets too thick, add a few splashes of milk until it's creamy again.)

CAJUN SHRIMP INSTRUCTIONS:

- In a mixing bowl, toss the shrimp with the cajun seasoning.

- Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat.
