My true love gave to me…a traditional Southern dish from Executive Chef Charles Zeran of A.Lure in Savannah.  There are as many recipes for Shrimp & Grits as there are people in the South. Goat Cheese? Cream Cheese? Mascarpone?  Oh my!  This certainly sounds different.  Let us know if you give it a try!!
