i dont think shrimp and grits really needs a side dish but maybe you could have some type of garlic bread or something

Cantelope wrapped in prosciutto

Easy. Zucchini and Squash smothered down with some onions and bacon with olive oil.

booze....like a good bloody mary.

shrimp and grits is a meal in itself, and you can get some veggie in the bloody mary.

I disagree, I would think you would not want to compliment the shrimp and grits with something of the exact same texture and temperature. I think the prior poster with a crisp, acidic salad is right on.

---

totally agree. If you MUST have a side, then something crisp and acidic makes sense. BR's own sensation salad is a no fail side salad to fairly heavy or cream rich seafood dishes.

But, like i said earlier i would prefer a bloody mary to any side on teh rare occasion i eat scrimps and grits.

Jake Staples created this at the old Bob and Jakes restaurant in the early 60's. The restaurant is where Boudreauxs is not on Government Street next door to Baton Rouge High School. The Jake Staples opened The Place on Florida across from Rebel Shopping Center and continued.

white vinegar, olive oil, vegetable oil lemons, garlic, romano cheese, salt and pepper basically served over romaine and iceburg mixed.



I remember eating it at the original restaurant and I remember they had the best spaghetti and meatballs a kid could sink his teeth into.
