What Can I Make With Grits
My husband is a southern boy, so there’s always a box of grits lurking in the pantry. I fix them on occasion with eggs or bacon and toast for breakfast. We had some this morning and for some reason it hit me that it might make a good component for lunch or dinner dishes too. I guess it is very similar to Polenta.
The first thing that comes to mind is of course shrimp and grits. I’ve had this savory low-country dish in restaurants before but have never tried to make it myself. Anyone have a good recipe for this?
Of course I’d love to hear any other recipes that include grits you’d like to share. Just enter them as a comment.

I just had polenta at a restaurant last week and thought about how grits could be used instead. Basically the same thing, right? I’m not sure how shrimp and grits are, but I’ll have to try it soon enough. Thanks!

We are new to the South, and feel that grits are a ‘vehicle’ for other foods. We like them mixed up with shrimp, onion, garlic, hot sauce, salt, pepper and cheese. I say just start throwing stuff in your grits until it comes out tasting great. You’re not going to ruin them!

I was never a big grits fan growing up, but I have since really started to enjoy them. Thanks for sharing the great ideas.
