Shimp and Grits
Originally, shrimp and grits consisted of ordinary cooked grits along with shrimp fried in bacon grits or lard. Today, butter is used to saute the shrimp instead of more unhealthy fats, and most recipes often include heavy creams. A lot of tourists will be shocked when they discover this is also a common breakfast dish, too.
If you have the chance to travel to the low country around Charleston, be sure to try shrimp and grits. If you are really brave, you can even try it as a breakfast, but whenever you eat them, this is a delicious Southern delicacy worth a try. If you try it, you will most likely be glad and may even wish you were a local fisherman!
