Jesse: I'm Chef Jesse Brune and I'm gonna show you how to make spicy shrimp on mini grit cakes. So, true or false: Your dad loves shrimp. How to make Grits Cakes: If the grits are plain, I like to season them with onion and garlic powders, paprika, salt and pepper. Using leftovers, scoop soft grits onto a piece of waxed paper.
