There is a new restaurant in town, the Shrimp Shack, that I've been to twice in a week. It is really quite good, and I want them to become well established. We were there last night with Lorraine's mom, and we had the Fried Grits appetizer.
I don't like grits, but everyone was curious enough to see what this would be like. Turns out, it's very good. They make a big batch of regular grits, with just a little chopped jalapeno for extra flavor, and then pour the cooked grits into a sheet cake pan that is about an inch deep. They then freeze the grits, and then cut them into squares, much like a brownie. They then dip the squares into a standard flower batter, like an onion ring batter, and deep fry them. They serve the four good-sized squares of fried grits with a homemade dill sauce. It is somewhat similar to fried cheese.
