I recently went on vacation with my hubby this past summer to Savannah Georgia. We loved the south. The FOOD, the southern charm and hospitality. And the south loves grits and shrimp. And so do I! This is my version of Shrimp and Grits. This is a spicy, rich and filling dish. Bon Appetit!

About a week ago I made a bacon and shrimp pasta with creamy pesto. Not surprisingly, it went over well. I didn't realize just how well, though, until this evening, when my wife pulled out even more shrimp and another package of bacon and asked for an encore. I don't really like repeating myself, at least not so soon, so I told her I wouldn't be making the exact same dish, but I'd try to make something equally delicious. For inspiration, I looked to my favourite flavour of potato chip (seriously). Weird origin aside, I think I succeeded.
