Описание: Cook Once, Eat Twice Shrimp and Grits

The LSU AgCenter and Louisiana Healthcare Connections have partnered to produce the video series ‘Build a Healthy Meal.’ We’ll show you how to make easy, tasty and healthful recipes for the whole family to enjoy using low-cost ingredients that can be found at your local dollar store, grocery store or farmers’ market.

In this video, LSU AgCenter nutrition agent Lori Marto shows you how to save time in the kitchen by making this delicious Shrimp and Grits recipe that you can cook once and eat twice. The savory shrimp pairs perfectly with the cheesy grits and can be enjoyed at any meal. Leftovers can be used for other meals. The grits can be reheated for breakfast and the shrimp can add some protein to a salad for lunch or dinner.
