Outstanding! The gravy is out of the world. I served this to someone who'd never heard of shrimp & grits and turned up their nose......Total convert! They were braggin about the dish to anyone who'd listen. Wonderful Dish. You can add more or less water to the gravy til it's your desired thickness.

This is not an authentic Charleston recipe. The gravy in real shrimp & grits is always flavored by bacon, or at least some other type of pork. It's a rich, deep, brown, and absolutely delicious gravy served over white grits, not the yellow stuff. I was born and raised in Charleston, and frequent the places that the locals do regularly, and this doesn't really bring out the flavor of how this dish usually is prepared.
