So if you're NOT from the south, chances are you have had few opportunities to order grits from a menu where you live let alone a meal of shrimp and grits. Grits are a dish of coarsely ground corn kernels boiled with water or milk, and true to what you already may know, they're a southern United States staple. Here in the south, grits prepared in some way or another will appear on menus for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and even the fanciest of cocktail parties. Simply stated, the south doesn't "do food" without grits being a part of the spread. The most common way to prepare grits is to boil them in water with salt and butter until they're creamy. To me, unless you were brought up noshing on simple grits daily, I am not sure you'd think they had any more flavor than I do. Insert Yankee opinion here, and add cheddar cheese. Not just any cheddar, sharp cheddar pimento cheese…
