My most favorite thing to do is try different versions of shrimp and grits when we travel throughout the South. It&#8217;s so fun to see how many different variations there are out there! Some versions are tomato based and are more hearty with smoked sausage and pepper flavors, which to me feel more like comfort food. My Spicy Watermelon &amp; Jicama Shrimp and Grits recipe is lightened up for the summer months and give of *vacation vibes* with Sam&#8217;s Watermelon Jicama Salsa.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/samssalsa.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Sam&#8217;s Fresh Salsa<\/a> has no preservatives, no artificial ingredients, and additive free. It&#8217;s just pure fresh salsa like you would get if you went out to a Mexican restaurant and it was prepared fresh for the day. They also make traditional cantina style salsas such as Cantina Medium Salsa and Salsa Verde.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-23122\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boredmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/hero-with-product-1024x576.png\" alt=\"watermelon jicama shrimp and grits\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-kale-share-title=\"Spicy Watermelon &amp; Jicama Shrimp and Grits\" data-kale-share-url=\"https:\/\/www.boredmom.com\/?p=23102\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stage.boredmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/hero-with-product-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/stage.boredmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/hero-with-product-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/stage.boredmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/hero-with-product-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/stage.boredmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/hero-with-product-500x281.png 500w, https:\/\/stage.boredmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/hero-with-product-1800x1012.png 1800w, https:\/\/stage.boredmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/hero-with-product-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/stage.boredmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/hero-with-product-2048x1152.png 2048w, https:\/\/stage.boredmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/hero-with-product.png 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Although this dish brings big spicy tropical inspired flavors, it&#8217;s really easy to make.

Optional: If you want your grits to be &#8216;cheesy grits&#8217; with extra creaminess, stir in the grated cheese. The grits will start to thicken and you may add water (about 1\/4 cup at a time) as you cook to keep the grits from being dry and cooked through. Add the butter and stir occasionally to keep mixture loose.\u00a0 Add salt to taste. When you turn off the heat, the grits will thicken even more, so I always add about 1\/4 cup of water before shutting off the heat.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Shrimp &amp; Onions<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In a large skillet, heat olive oil on medium heat and add onions. Stir until onions soften.<\/p>\n<p>In a bowl, toss shrimp with garlic powder and red pepper powder. Add Shrimp to skillet and cook for about 2 minutes and then flip over gently and cook until they are pink and cooked through (about another 2 minutes). Squeeze fresh lime juice on top of the shrimp and onions.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-23121\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boredmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/shrimp-in-pan-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-kale-share-title=\"Spicy Watermelon &amp; Jicama Shrimp and Grits\" data-kale-share-url=\"https:\/\/www.boredmom.com\/?p=23102\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stage.boredmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/shrimp-in-pan-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/stage.boredmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/shrimp-in-pan-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/stage.boredmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/shrimp-in-pan-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/stage.boredmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/shrimp-in-pan-500x281.png 500w, https:\/\/stage.boredmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/shrimp-in-pan-1800x1012.png 1800w, https:\/\/stage.boredmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/shrimp-in-pan-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/stage.boredmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/shrimp-in-pan-2048x1152.png 2048w, https:\/\/stage.boredmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/shrimp-in-pan.png 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Stir the grits and if they are too thick, add a little more warm water to make them loose again.<\/p>\n<p>Fill a shallow bowl with grits (about 3\/4 cup cooked grits) and top with about 8 cooked shrimp and onions mixture.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-23122\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boredmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/hero-with-product-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-kale-share-title=\"Spicy Watermelon &amp; Jicama Shrimp and Grits\" data-kale-share-url=\"https:\/\/www.boredmom.com\/contests\/spicy-watermelon-jicama-shrimp-and-grits\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stage.boredmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/hero-with-product-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/stage.boredmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/hero-with-product-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/stage.boredmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/hero-with-product-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/stage.boredmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/hero-with-product-500x281.png 500w, https:\/\/stage.boredmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/hero-with-product-1800x1012.png 1800w, https:\/\/stage.boredmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/hero-with-product-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/stage.boredmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/hero-with-product-2048x1152.png 2048w, https:\/\/stage.boredmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/hero-with-product.png 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Spoon the Sam&#8217;s Spicy Watermelon &amp; Jicama Salsa over the shrimp and grits.
