It's been around for a long time and it's very good and easy to make. I roast the corn on the grill.

Posted a while back. Just as good and a lot less trouble to use white shoepeg corn.


2 cups chicken broth
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup shoe peg corn
1 cup yellow grits (not instant)
3-4 tblsp real butter
Bring chick broth and butter to a boil.
Add cream, return to boil.
Slowly whisk in grits and then add corn
Reduce heat and simmer 5-6 min
Season to taste with sea salt and pepper

Someone told me this and I tryed it with the same recipe and it was great.

Try skipping the yellow grits and using yellow cornmeal.

I'll probably never try cooking these, but I know of a few people who will love this

Very close. Since I eat at Zea's twice a month I cut out the grits.

Tried this last night.

I did not grill the corn (will next time).

I substitiuted skim milk for the heavy cream and I added a diced jalapeno pepper.

This recipe will be a regular around my house.

Thanks for sharing.

I use more corn when I make it.

I think a cup of dry grits is about 3 cups cooked. Look on the package of grits. You should be fine doubling it for 12 people if there are other sides and throw in some extra corn.

Sorry, I answered the wrong thread.
