Keto Shrimp and Grits Recipe
"This isn’t your average grits recipe. It’s a tropical twist on a traditional Southern breakfast staple that makes for a great meal anytime you’re hungry. Head to the Southern U.S. and grits are a proud staple. It’s a traditional food that dates way back to pre-colonial days. Native Americans enjoyed eating soft, mashed and boiled corn, and the cooking technique was passed to the new settlers. Corn, or maize, was readily available, which helped it spread like wildfire. Along the coast, an evolution in grits added shrimp to the mix. The fairly bland corn porridge got a pop of protein and flavor with the shrimp thrown in. The combination remains popular today."
