The dish is called shrimps and grits and is delicious 😋 ...  

Grits and Polenta are different. But EXTREMELY SIMILAR. Both are made of coarse ground cornmeal.

It’s slightly more liquid (if the specimen was any indication) and came with cheese mixed in (can do that with polenta as well of course) 😊👍🏻

Not a dish one would associate with the U.S. at first glance.

just like many Americans might see a BBQ as something typically U.S.- american while it is also deeply rooted in European culture.

Guessing the yellow is corn since you are in the south. What’s the green part on the sides of the plate?

Most likely parsley with pickled onions in center.

See below 👍🏻

Probably something meatier tonight but was a very nice experiment that I am happy to repeat again 😁👍🏻
