Low Carb Shrimp and Grits
Yum, shrimp and grits are a classic cajun dish! You can enjoy this recipe for a savory breakfast or a hot and steamy lunch. The “grits” are made from - you guessed it - cauliflower, and they’re topped with perfectly seasoned jumbo shrimp. This dish is meaty, a little fatty, and just a tad spicy!
