GRITS AND RICE AND TILAPIA

Steps:

• cook your tilapia (tswana for fish btw) and season to taste, i perfer the above seasonings. at the same time cook a serving of grits, about 3 tablespoons. when grits are done dump some pre-cooked rice in there and warm that up. when the tilapia and grits/rice are done lay the fish on a bed of the grits. pour some jar-alfredo into the fish grease, add cream, and season to taste, then pour over the fish and grits. i got this idea from reading about grits -> ugali on wikipedia. i do not recommend using jar-alfredo as it tastes like shit, but you're in college, whatchya gonna do? i recommend going with your favorite sauce, mine just happens to be alfredo. this recipe takes about 10 minutes with frozen tilapia, and i guess less than that if its not frozen. i like to pepper my grits heavily, but i think buttering them in this case would be a poor idea. i think adding adding some rice makes for a very interesting texture and taste, and its cheap.
