- 2 cups (480 ml) corn grits
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) unsalted butter
- 6 oz (170 g) Caraway Havarti Cheese, grated
- sea salt and black pepper
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) olive oil
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) rice wine vinegar
- 1 tsp lime juice
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
- 1 lb (450 g) jumbo shrimp, cleaned and peeled
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) vegetable or canola oil
- 1/2 lb (225 g) deli-style corned beef, chopped

Instructions
- Add the water and salt to a deep saucepan or stock pot. Bring it to a boil, and then add the grits. Reduce the heat to medium low and cook the grits for 25-30 minutes or until creamy and smooth, stirring occasionally. Adjust seasoning to taste and stir in the butter and cheese. Continue to stir until melted. Keep warm until ready to serve.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, rice wine vinegar, lime juice, chili powder, cayenne pepper, crushed red pepper and a dash of salt and pepper. Pour the mixture into a gallon-sized zip bag and add the shrimp. Close tightly and coat the shrimp evenly with the mixture. Set aside.
- Heat the oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the shrimp and sauté until pink and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the corned beef.
- Serve the shrimp and corned beef on a bed of grits. Sprinkle with parsley and enjoy immediately!
