Ingredients:

2 cups cooked grits

4 tablespoons butter and/or olive oil

1 pound shrimp, peeled

Directions:

Reheat grits in the micro- wave or over low heat, with additional liquid if necessary.

Melt butter and/or olive oil in a saucepan, preferably non-stick. Add shrimp and sauté until just before they turn pink. Add tomato and stir until liquid exudes slightly, just a minute or so. Add garlic and cook briefly.

Divide grits between 2 plates, pour shrimp and tomato mixture on top, garnish with basil or parsley and serve.
