🔥 How to Make It All Come Together:
Start with the Potatoes:
Toss in oil & seasonings. Roast or pan-fry until golden and crispy. Add ham & peppers near the end.
Get the Grits Goin’:
Boil water/broth, whisk in grits. Lower heat, stir often till thick. Add butter, cheese, and a lil cream for richness.
Sear the Steak:
Pat dry, season well. Sear on high heat 3–4 mins per side (adjust for doneness). Baste with butter & herbs. Rest before slicing.
Cook the Shrimp:
Sauté in butter/oil with seasoning. Cook 1–2 mins per side till just pink. Serve right over those creamy grits.
Scramble the Eggs:
Low heat, buttered pan, gentle stir. Keep ‘em soft & fluffy.
Warm That Biscuit:
Serve hot and buttery, maybe hit it with some honey or jam if you’re feelin’ sweet 😏
