South Carolina Shrimp Gravy and Grits from Grits and Groceries

I moved to the Northwest from Alabama, and cooked these cause I was homesick. They hit the spot! Tasted like home! I was only making it for two people so I cut the whole recipe in half. I winged it with the Low Country seasoning and did my best to just guess how much of what was in 1 tablespoon. It also didn't thicken up enough at the end for me. Not sure if this was because I split the recipe or not, but I just added a tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with 1/4 cup of cold water and it thickened up perfectly! Also used instant grits and added gouda cheese to them. So good and has a great New Orleans feel to it.
