Directions

• Combine Chicken Broth and Grits in Slow Cooker
• Add all other ingredients except Shrimp and Green Onions
• Cook on low for 3 Hours.
• Add Shrimp and 1/2 cup cream or Fat Free Half and Half if desired. (If grits have aborbed all the liquid, add some more broth or some milk. It will depend on your slow cooker. The above measurements worked perfectly in my Hamilton Beach Model.)
