We adapted our recipe for Shrimp Without Grits from the “Papa Ed’s Shrimp and Grits” recipe in Marcus Samuelsson’s book, The Rise: Black Cooks and the Soul of American Food to serve with our Miya’s Rice & Peas.

To keep it vegetarian (OK, technically lacto-pescatarian!) we didn’t use chorizo as called for. Instead, we added some butter for that certain umami that the fat from the meat provides.
