Grits Recipes:

Learn about the history of Grits – Shrimp and Grits

Creamy Grits and Shrimp
In the Low Country of South Carolina and particularly Charleston, shrimp and grits has been considered a basic breakfast for coastal fishermen and families for decades during the shrimp season (May through December).  Simply called “breakfast shrimp,” the dish consisted of a pot of grits with shrimp cooked in a little bacon grease or butter.

Grits and Greens
Southerners have always eaten a lot of corn-fresh corn in season, dried corn in the winter, and cornmeal all year around in the form of grits.  Grits benefit from cooking with milk or cream.  But grits have traditionally been food for the poor, and of course the poor would use water instead of milk.  This dish marries two Southern favorites in an unbelievable combination of color and flavor.

Parmigiano Reggiano Grits Souffle
Southerners have a tendency to call anything baked with beaten egg whites a souffle.  Properly beaten egg whites are the key to the rise of this dish.  While the dish is in the oven, the air trapped inside the egg whites expands, causing the dish to rise.
