Shrimp and Grits With Kielbasa image

This is a recipe my Alabama mama taught me, who picked it up when she lived in New Orleans. I make it for my family in Oregon and they love it too! This is a traditional Christmas dish for our family, but could be eaten as an entree, a side, or even breakfast anytime of the year!

2 cups dry polenta
5 cups water
1 tablespoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil

This recipe was a waste of time. The shrimp and kielbasa were tough and the grits were lumpy. I would not recommend this recipe.
