Shrimp and GritsHave you ever eaten something so good that it induces a trance? Well, check out our Voodoo Shrimp and Grits. This classic dish features our all-star spice blend Voodoo, a robust seasoning which includes onion, garlic, whole mustard seeds, thyme and allspice on a base of peppercorns and sea salts. We are excited to share Voodoo Shrimp and Grits just in time for Mardis Gras. French for Fat Tuesday, Mardi Gras refers to the practice of the last night of eating richer, fatty foods before the ritual fasting of the Lenten season. With no shortage of richness, this recipe could be the inspiration for your own Mardi Gras ritual.

    The picture looks like it has bell pepper and the instructions mention adding ‘pepper’, but I don’t see bell pepper in the ingredient list. Is there supposed to be bell pepper in this recipe?

    • Sherrie says:

      Good catch! It somehow didn’t make it into the written recipe. Taken care of now. Enjoy!

      Add a seeded and finely diced jalapeño for some added flavor and subtle heat. Remember to wear gloves while handling the pepper, I don’t, the capsaicin helps the circulation in my fingers.
