Home Chef is another one of the food box companies and I just tried my first meal today. It was a very comforting dish called: French Onion Shrimp and Grits. This was quite good. I would say that if I were to make it again, I'd reduce the amount of grits to about 1/4 cup (vs about 1 cup) and use larger shrimp. The grits seem to overtake the meal, and I'd prefer the shrimp to be the star. It still was quite tasty, and as I said, so comforting.
Enjoy!
