HEAVENLY SHRIMP & PARMESAN GRITS
For my mom's birthday this year I wanted to make something special for her. After searching tons of cookbooks for the "just right" combination of shrimp and grits I have developed this concoction with the help of the Tabasco cookbook and the Best of Bayou Cuisine. Happy Birthday Mom!

Tips
- Mise en place. Before you start cooking, measure and prep all of your ingredients. This will make the cooking process faster and easier.
- Use fresh shrimp. Frozen shrimp can be used, but fresh shrimp will give your dish a better flavor and texture.
- Cook the shrimp properly. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery. Cook shrimp until they are just opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Use good quality artichokes. Canned artichoke hearts are fine, but fresh or frozen artichoke hearts will give your dish a better flavor and texture.
- Make sure the grits are creamy. Grits should be cooked until they are creamy and smooth. If they are too thick, add more milk or water. If they are too thin, cook them for a few minutes longer.
- Garnish with fresh herbs. Fresh herbs like parsley, chives, or basil will add a pop of color and flavor to your dish.
