If you’ve been wanting to try Shrimp and Grits but don’t know what to serve with it you’ve come to the right place. Here are 40 tasty sides you can serve with your Shrimp and Grits! Whether you’re serving it for breakfast, lunch or dinner I have the dish for you.
Shrimp and Grits are a popular southern dish from coastal South Carolina and Georgia. Though I’ve seen versions of this all across the south as lunch and dinner, I prefer this as a hearty brunch option. The first time I tried Shrimp and Grits was in Nashville. I tried one bite and I was sold. Creamy grits, salty bacon, tender shrimp, all-around warm comfort food. It was magical. Once I came home, I did my best to make an easy but still delicious version and man does this recipe deliver!
