This is our new favorite comfort food.  Marinate the shrimp, nice big ones, in cajun or creole spice.  Pan-fry them quickly in hot oil, then remove from pan.  Saute onions, peppers (I use poblanos for a little bit of heat but you can use sweet bell peppers.  Add canned tomatoes and chicken stock.  Add the shrimp back in and, when blended and hot, add sour cream.  Meanwhile, cook the grits in milk, butter, and water.  When done, stir in cheddar cheese and pepper.    Serve shrimp and sauce over grits.  Garnish with sliced scallions

2 c water
