Shrimp and grits is one of those dishes that was once limited to specific areas of the South but now can be found everywhere and is considered a Southern classic.

Most chefs and restaurants have their own take on this classic – adding an ingredient, changing up the grind of grits or covering it in a special sauce.

Connors Steak & Seafood in Huntsville elevates the dish by using cheese grits as the base and topping it with an Andouille cream sauce.

It’s good enough to earn a spot on the Alabama Tourism Department’s list of 100 Dishes to Eat in Alabama.
