Shrimp 'n' Grits Tasting Spoons

Here's a classic Southern dish reinvented as a gourmet snack! Eating an entire bowl of shrimp 'n' grits can leave your feeling overly full, bloated and like a glutton. These tasting spoons are the perfect size to get your comfort food fix on without all the guilt. The bacon sprinkles add a nice meaty flavor and you can add as little or as much heat as you'd like to suit your own taste. 

Enjoy!

i am curious...what exactly is grits?...i've never seen it here in Australia

[lmnopeas]

Grits are ground up corn. It's similar to the consistency of cream of wheat.

I wonder why they aren't available in Australia or if you just call them something else?

[AussieAnglerGal]

oh, perhaps they are under another name :) thanks
PS i like the way you presented that dish, it looks really good :)

Tried these at a restaurant in Scottsdale - Rendezvous. They came in a bowl, must have been 5 lbs of grits. Very yummy but not nearly as cool as yours. Nice and as always pro presentation.

Thanks papajon! We'll have to whip up a batch next time we get together. :)
