CLE Shrimp & Grits combines jumbo shrimp and slices of kielbasa with peppers and onions, all sautéed in white wine and garlic and served over cheesy grits.[11] The inclusion of kielbasa gives the dish a distinctly Cleveland twist, adding smoke and spice to the otherwise Southern-style format.[11] Eating it, you get creamy, rich grits contrasted with plump shrimp and savory sausage, with the vegetables and pan sauce tying everything together.[11]
