- Look for creole seasoning that does not contain salt for a healthier option.
- Substitution 1: Replace the creamed corn in the grits with cooked, mashed sweet potatoes. Benefit: This substitution will add a sweeter flavor to the grits and will increase the nutritional value by adding additional vitamins and minerals.
- Substitution 2: Replace the shrimp in the topping with diced chicken. Benefit: This substitution will make the recipe more accessible to those who don't eat seafood and will provide a different texture and flavor to the dish.
Cajun Chicken and Grits Replace the shrimp with 1/2 pound of chicken, and replace the creole seasoning with 1/2 teaspoon of Cajun seasoning. Replace the celery salt with 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder. Follow the same instructions for the remaining steps.
