I’ll show you how, but first I need to bust out my Dad and his canning/country music obsession from the early 90s.

Despite the fact that Iowa leads the nation in corn production (and eggs, believe it or not,) grits, or ground corn, are not even a little bit mainstream around here. Why oh why has the Midwest been holding out on us? The shrimp and grits appetizer I ordered at the Olde Pink House in Savannah were advertised as fried grits cakes topped with shrimp and cheddar cheese sauce, but their gluten-free version came as creamy grits served with the sauce and shrimp (the cakes were breaded then fried thus making them not gluten-free....
