Scott and I recently returned from Hilton Head and while I was there I was reminded of how much I love Carolina Shrimp and Grits. I have found lots of recipes on line, but the ones that remind me the most of what I had in both North and South Carolina are those served with Tasso Ham Gravy. Tasso Ham, as I have learned is cured differently than other hams and is made with cajun spices. $25 for a one pound ham is ridiculously expensive, but I could only find it online. I plan to dice it once I get it and then freeze it to use in shrimp and grit recipes, gumbo and jumbalaya.
