Sweet succulence

Last night we went to my favorite restaurant and over indulged as usual.  I almost deviated from my regular and ordered shrimp and cheese grits - but when I inquired about the shrimp, they were farm raised.  Fortunately, I had purchased wild caught shrimp from Whole Foods so I planned shrump n grits for breakfast this morning.

I don't make shrump n grits quite the way they do in the low country but we only eat shrimp from the southern coast because shrimp from anywhere else are just plain inferior and tasteless.  I paid $13.99/lb for shrimp that go for $6.99/lb or less at the source, but it's worth it for shrimp that are sweet and bursting with flavor.
