Cajun Shrimp and Grits

Tonight's dinner was full of flavor. I mixed a can of fire roasted diced tomatoes with some mixed vegetables and Cajun spices. I poured this over some grits and added some shrimp. I used San Gennaro grits that come in a roll just like precooked polenta. This was my first experience with grits, and I really liked them. They tasted a lot like polenta to me, but were not as thick. What are some other ways that you all enjoy grits? I would like to try them as a breakfast dish.

Easy Cajun Stew

This is one of my favorite stews to make and eat. It is SO easy! I just mix together the following: 1 cup chicken broth, 1 can cajun flavored stewed tomatoes (chop up tomatoes slightly), and a little over a half a bag of gumbo veggies. I heat it all up in a saucepan until the veggies are tender. I then add some shrimp (minis in this picture) and let it continue to cook until the shrimp appears done. This stew tastes great served with cornbread. The leftovers taste delicious over grits or polenta!!
