Cook Omelette
In the same skillet used for the shrimp, pour the egg mixture. Cook on medium-low heat until the edges begin to set, about 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle the cooked shrimp and cheddar cheese over half of the omelette. Gently fold the other half over the shrimp and cheese. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted.

Cook Grits
In a saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 cup of grits and 0.5 tsp salt. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the grits are thickened and creamy, about 20-25 minutes. Stir in 1 tablespoon of butter before serving.

Prepare Hash Browns (if preferred)
Rinse and grate the two medium potatoes. Squeeze out any excess moisture and pat dry. In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the grated potatoes, pressing them down with a spatula. Cook until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes on each side. Season with salt to taste.
