What is more satisfying to the soul than Shrimp and Grits? Well, here's an AMAZING Tequila Dale's Shrimp and Grits for you to try!
One of the most important parts of this recipe is making sure to purchase (or catch) GREAT shrimp. We got our shrimp from a local market called LL Urban Market. It's a really cool produce stand, but much much more than that. They carry meats, fresh seafood and local products, such as all of our Tequila Dale's sauces and salsas.

12-16 oz fresh or frozen shrimp (peeled and deveined)
1 cup of uncooked grits
1 1/2 cups of chopped celery

2 cups of shredded sharp cheddar cheese
