Originally a common breakfast in the South (but enjoyed any time of day), shrimp and grits is a beloved comfort food from coast to coast. This soul-warming classic stars Cajun-seasoned shrimp with a Creole tomato gravy (starring the holy trinity of bell pepper, celery, and onion, along with a splash of heavy cream) all nestled into smoked cheddar white corn grits. Simply seasoned green beans make for a satisfying side.
