Description

Served with grilled shrimp, these grits are a lighter tasting alternative to the average Southern shrimp and grits. Cheddar and corn take the place of sausage to add flavor and texture. My husband and kids love it. I use the frozen corn when pinched for time, but it’s sooo good with fresh cooked corn. Just add extra butter if using fresh corn.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Water
  • 1 cup Milk
  • ¼ teaspoons Salt
  • 1 package Frozen Corn With Butter Sauce (10 Oz)
  • 1 cup Yellow Corn Grits, Also Known As Polenta
  • 1 cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese, Grated
  • 3 Tablespoons Butter, Just For The Heck Of It

Preparation

Bring water, milk, and salt to a boil.

While waiting for above to boil, microwave corn according to package directions.

Now, back to the boiling liquid. Once boiling, add grits and reduce heat to low/medium. Cook slowly for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and fold in cheese, corn, and butter.

Serve immediately.

Goes great with grilled shrimp, or as a breakfast side. You can make polenta cakes with leftovers!
