Join Ed Woodford, who has more than 45 years of cooking experience gained while traveling the world while serving in the army, and a wealth of knowledge about various cuisines, for a hands-on cooking experience that celebrates the culinary traditions of South Carolina’s coast. Shrimp and Grits is a classic Southern U.S. dish consisting of creamy, stone-ground corn grits topped with shrimp cooked in a flavorful, savory sauce. Originating as a humble fisherman’s breakfast in the coastal Lowcountry of South Carolina and Georgia, it has since evolved into a beloved comfort food. Ed will guide you step-by-step through the process of making grits (coarsely ground corn or hominy), typically cooked slowly with water or milk, and enriched with butter, heavy cream, and melted cheese. Then you’ll sauté the shrimp in a savory pan sauce, built upon rendered bacon fat, and mixed with ingredients like garlic, bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, and chicken broth. You’ll end up with a dish that your friends and family will love. Learn to make this iconic dish!
