Exceptional gravy and seven large shrimp made this a memorable plate; peas and chorizo did not feel like a perfect fit.

Shrimp and grits with tomatoes and peas at The Public.

Delicious. The gravy is so amazing I wanted to lick the plate. 7 large shrimp. But the addition of peas throw me off and the chorizo just isn’t very good. These ingredients don’t belong in a traditional shrimp and grits dish. Solid A despite my complaints. It’s the sauce that really shines here.
