I put cheese in my shrimp and grits. But they have yet to win me any awards.

BBQ shrimp and grits certainly do not require cheese.

I make my shrimp and grits with cheese grits, but I don't think its a requirement for a good version.

I do know that the best versions I have had of this have been in NOLA and not Charleston...my Charleston friends have admitted this to me as well.



I will add chili's tilapia with cheese sauce as my contribution to this thread.

In that case I'll never eat shrimp and grits with cheese again.

I’m not saying that, I’m just saying that shrimp & grits sans cheese don’t necessarily suck.

The italian rule should apply to italian food only and to fish only.

Shellfish shouldnt be in that discussion.

yeah, that's kind of the point of the thread.

and for fish, i'll add some the crusted fish with a little parmesean in the crust. Not my first choice, but not awful.

What's the basis of the "Italian rule"?

Is there any rationale outside of it simply being tradition?

Hell I have had some shrimp pesto pizza's before that were great as well.

I dont really agree with the so called rule. I really hate when I see some stuck up chef on a food show hold his nose up to it.

no idea, but i don't put any stock into "the rule" at all.

i happen to follow it most of the time just based on my tastes, but it's just coincidental.

That is a good question. It could go way back to Roman times. Protein and dairy are a no-no for keeping Kosher. It could partially stem from that. More than likely it is probably to allow the freshness of the seafood to be the star.

my hunch is that the climate and the high risk of spoilage of dairy before refrigeration might play into it as well.

Whats interesting is that I find Italian cheeses to go best with seafood. A good Parmigiano-Reggiano can take a crab & corn bisque from average to great.
