Aww, hell yeah, son. Shrimp and Grits are a classic Southern staple. BBQ is a classic Southern flavor. When you combine the two, your taste buds will forcibly eject themselves from your mouth just to high-five each other. (I promise it's not as terrifying and Fincher-esque as it sounds.)
I'd add that with a recipe like this you can certainly use supermarket, quick cooking grits. The sauce alone is enough to make it tasty. Like a lot of Southerners I love any casserole made of grits (squash too) which often begin with onions, garlic, hot sauce, lots of cheese, etc. You could almost use ground-up cardboard as your starch and it would still taste pretty good. This would probably not be the case with squash casseroles.
Ever since I discovered that shrimp and spiders are distant cousins (both are arthropods)...well, I skeeved so long, and so violently, that the locals started selling tickets....and even my fingernails got goose-bumps.
I make this same recipe, except living in the AZ desert, where shrimp don't seem to be found crawling under rocks and thorny bushes, I use Tarantulas instead. Hint: You have to singe the hair off of them first with a blow torch or over your stove.Protip: Use a blow torch, and do it outside, burning hair stinks!
I have to say to the grits averse, you really need to eat a plate of shrimp and grits, either this one or another. No substitutions on the grits. And then and only then will you get it. This dish is one of the great contributions of lowland Southern culture, and it may be the only one since BBQ has many points of origin.
I'm seriously racking my brain to think of what else good has come out of the Carolinas outside Superchunk and most of my family lives there.
no, it was Jell-O. it was not whatever you are talking about. and it was not a dollop of mayonnaise. it was used as if it were frosting. these are the peculiar eating habits of the Scandinavian immigrant in the 1940's and 50's.
Can I gay-marry Frank's Hot Sauce?
I had a lot of dinners in my early years that were just like that, except without the slices of bread, a slice of onion and favorite hot sauce.
In this case, Ripple.
I came here to yell about some politics and things, and left hungry. You guys suck.
Liquid smoke. Add it to everything southern.
I want a menage a trois with Frank's and Crystal Hot Sauce.

Food is for sharing. Recipes . . . not so much. I'm sure you understand, right?

This recipe doesn't contain any booze. It's like he doesn't even know us!
