Chef Chris loves shrimp and grits because they "just make you feel at home." His take features juicy roasted shrimp that are seasoned with Cajun blackening spices and served atop thick, creamy grits, infused with pepper jack cheese to add a subtle kick of heat. The shrimp and grits are complimented by Chef's decadent cider-braised collards with smoky bacon. This is Southern comfort at its best.
