Tupelo Honey Cafe's Shrimp & Goat Cheese Grits
"This recipe is fast, easy and arguably the best shrimp and grits around. The goat cheese added to the grits not only lends a fabulous, creamy texture, but also amazing flavor. When I make this for the kids, I cut back on the cayenne spice a bit in the seasoning...."
