Chef Chris came up with this spin on shrimp and grits by just experimenting and having a little fun with some delicious classic combinations. Chef's creamy white cheddar-infused risotto makes a perfect base for juicy, buttery Cajun-style blackened shrimps, especially when it's finished off with house-rendered crispy pancetta lardons, white cheddar, and green onions. A drizzle of bright tomato, garlic, and herb sauce rounds out the dish. This is a meal where the title really says it all.
