Shrimp and Grits

Unless you're a Southerner, that combination probably sounds gross--or at least questionable. When Jim and I were living in the Carolinas, he first tried shrimp and grits at a restaurant in Greenville, SC called Stax Omega. Every restaurant with a shrimp and grits dish on its menu serves it a little differently with various flavors thrown into the sauces, etc.

While we were on vacation last summer, we found a cookbook in a local restaurant, Nathalie Dupree's Shrimp and Grits. The whole cookbook was full of shrimp and grits recipes. Jim was surprised to get the cookbook as a Christmas gift. The past two Friday nights, we have had shrimp and grits for dinner, gradually trying the recipes that Jim has picked. So far, the two we have tried have been great! Thanks for stopping by!
