Yeah, I've had them fried and served with syrup...Mama used to do that 
with leftover grits from the morning before.  But boy, oh boy..the 
Carolina Shrimp Grits sound positively decadent and wonderful.  I just 
may have to go off the diet long enough to try that!!  You don't happen 
to have a recipe, do you?  Otherwise, I can use my imagination.
