Southwest Shrimp & Cauliflower Grits

Super easy to make and healthy shrimp and grits. I was pretty skeptical about the cauliflower grits, but happily impressed! Can do 4 servings at 38g protein, 6g fat, 9g carbs and 246 total calories each. Could also go well with Cajun style seasoning or another fun shrimp mix. Just used the southwest seasoning because I found it
