Shrimp & Grits Casserole

[Allifunn]

Allifunn, that sounds dee-lish and if we're ever in SoWal at the same time again, and you make that dish, I promise there won't be any leftovers! Since you were kind enough to share one of your recipes, I'll share one of mine. Like Mango, Merman will not eat shrimp or shellfish, so we've been "managing" ;-) with this dish. It's from one of my best sources for good food, Bon Appetit magazine. And it has capers, one of my favorites!

:clap_1: :clap_1: Thank you, Mermy!! I will try this!

I suppose one day I will get a bucket of shrimp and sit in the ER and see what happens. It could be amusing. During the scan my head blew up and looked like a bloated tomato.

Allifunn and Merm, these sound so good I'm almost in tears! I had the best grits at Cafe 30A about 2 years ago, and I've wanted to try to make them myself. So your recipes are inspirations. We have a great fried grits patty dinner with a red pepper, corn, onion relish here at Zingerman's Diner which I get every time we eat there.

They use the Arrowhead Mills grits I believe. What's your take on the 'best grits' and does it really matter or would Quakers grits work just as well?

Quakers is just fine, but here in Columbia we have the best mill in SC...Adulus Mill, they make the best grits, corn meal and flour!! I know the owners personally...and they are great people!

Paula, like Allifunn says, you CAN use whatever grits you have, but it's always preferable to use a top quality product. I get my grits at the DeKalb Farmer's Market in Atlanta when I'm visiting my brother. When I run out I have them delivered from the source, a mill in north Georgia. My grits come from Logan Turnpike Mill, and they are stone ground the old-fashioned way. Here's their website, complete with yummy recipes:
