This recipe was adapted from a recipe by Chef Joe Barnett and can be found here: http://www.visitgeorgiaonline.com/chef.htm You know I changed it a little bit (a lot more cheese in my grits),  but since a lot of this recipe is his, I must give credit where credit is due! Also, the reason why Georgia shrimp are referenced is I actually found and started using this recipe when I lived in Atlanta. Mr Barnett lives in Washington GA so we love us some Georgia Shrimp! Once, during a trip to Savannah, me and my girls went to Tybee Island (GA) and we bought fresh shrimp from a shrimping boat. They were yummy!
