There was (once upon a time anyway) a hotel/motel in downtown Charleston whose breakfast speciality was shrimp & grits. To say it was delicious is an understatement - never have tasted anything close to it since those days.

I used to work at 82 Queen.... one of the finer restaurants in the Lowcountry and I know the chef used heavy cream in the grits(some chefs use chix broth)....I don't know the exact recipe for the shrimp and grits recipe at 82 Queen but I do know they served it with a drizzle of BBQ sauce and some shredded cheddar cheese and shredded bacon pieces on top.....yummy! I serve mine the same way to this day and we have it for dinner with cornbread!

The second recipe I show uses 3 cups milk.  You could back that down to about 1-1.5 cups cream and add a little more stock.

Wolfie,

I would be glad to share my recipe.....let me think on it and try to find the real one from 82 Queen ( used to have a recipe packet of the more popular recipes of theirs.....)....either way, I'll get back to you with something.....SCmomma

Ok, I am back and found it alot quicker than I thought ( whew, I thought I might have to go searching in the attic but the internet and the information age saved me! :))

Anyway, here is a link to the 82 Queen Shrimp and Grits recipe from their site and if you are interested, they also have a recipe for the BBQ sauce they use.....personally I just use regular quick grits and add some shredded cheddar cheese and a drizzle or two of BBQ sauce ( just regular old BBQ sauce from the groc store) and some crumbled bacon to the grits once they are cooked.....Oh and I do add about a stick ( gasp!) of butter to my pot of grits.....that part is optional but it makes them extra tasty! ( or so I will tell myself on the way to the ER eh?)....haha.....I do admit however that 82 Queen's grits are extra creamy due to the cream they add......

Anyway, here is the recipe I mentioned  ( i was having issues getting the link to work so I posted the recipe but you can go to the http://www.82Queen.com website to get the BBQ Sauce recipe if you want....hit enter 82 Queen to get to the recipes part).....SCmomma
