🍤 Shrimp & Grits

There’s just something about a home-cooked meal that brings people together. It doesn’t have to be fancy or complicated — sometimes the best meals are the ones made with what you already have on hand. That’s why this Shrimp and Grits recipe feels so special. It’s simple, full of flavor, and made with ingredients you can pick up right from the Mobile Grocery Bus.

But it’s more than a recipe. It’s a reminder that food can do more than fill our stomachs. It can fill our hearts too. Whether you’re cooking for your family, making something to share with a neighbor, or just preparing a quiet meal for yourself, this dish invites you to slow down and enjoy the moment.

The creamy grits, melted cheese, perfectly seasoned shrimp, and sautéed peppers and onions come together in a way that feels comforting and familiar. It’s the kind of meal that says, “You’re home now. You’re cared for.”

Here at Mercy Deliverance Ministries, we believe food is one of the ways God shows His love. Every item on the Mobile Grocery Bus represents more than just groceries — it represents care, dignity, and the belief that everyone deserves access to good food. And when you shop with us, you’re a part of that mission.

So go ahead. Make the meal. Gather around the table. Thank God for the little things. Because that’s where the joy is — in the simple, everyday blessings we sometimes forget to notice.
