If you've peeled the shrimp yourself, don't just toss the shells. Toast them in a dry skillet, maybe a light spray of cooking oil, until they're lightly browned and blistered. Then pour water over it and let it steep for a while. Pour through a strainer to get the shells out, and voila, shrimp broth. Freeze for later or substitute for the chicken broth for extra shrimpy grits.
Oooh thanks for the rec, legend
@@topazgemfairy Think I saw that on Cook's Country or America's Test Kitchen years ago. Been using it ever since for Paella! Also, the spent shells make for great compost.
Great idea
Yep. Excellent advice. Been doing it for years. NEVER miss an opportunity to make more flavor.
@@jakemitchell1671 Amen. Not to mention waste not, want not. Even if you don't decide to use the crustacean broth in this dish, freeze it and use it later! One more way to make something good to eat, one less thing you have to buy. Win - win!
As a southern gal, I'm always watching to see how people from other parts of the country cook, shrimp and grits. You did excellent by using yellow grits and adding all of those extra flavors to it. If I didn't know that you were from California, I swear you were from Louisiana. Looks yummy! Can't wait to try your recipe.
You serious got the best cooking channel on the Tube. Help home cooks believe that they can make it at home! Cheers
I use some chopped Andouille sausage instead of bacon, chopped celery instead of parsley and regular onion instead of green onions and 1-2 chopped jalapeños. I sprinkle some flour over the cooked aromatics before I add twice the amount of chicken broth so that I get lots of sauce. No cheese in the grits. Love this stuff
The first time I ever had Shrimp and Grits was in Chattanooga. From then on I ordered them in every restaurant we went to. They were to die for. Thank you, John for sharing the recipe and the how-to video. In fact, I love all of your videos. You make everything look so doable.
As a half-Italian, I'm always on the lookout for a new polenta recipe. ;) Thanks! I'll have to substitute the bellpepper though (allergic). I love dishes that are this versatile and adaptable!
For my shrimp n grits, I don't use any cheese, but some heavy cream and butter after cooking. For the shrimp, instead of chicken stock, make a quick shrimp stock from the shrimp shells, water and some tomato paste, then make a roux, add that strained stock to the roux for a beautiful sauce. This is not so quick as your option, but tasty.❤
You just mix in the heavy cream AFTER it cooks?
@@pherron7471 Yes
What’s GRITS ? Is it polenta
Very nice recipie John! They looks amazing! Have a nice day and good week! 👍👏🍴
Only three cloves of garlic? I'm worried you're not feeling quite yourself, John! ❤
South Carolina here- I can’t wait to try this!
I’m in Alabama… Love me some shrimp and grits! I prefer andouille sausage instead of bacon. So rich and yummy in fall/winter!!!!🤤
I grew up in Charleston, SC. Shrimp and Grits is a staple. Gravy made with Tasso topped it off instead of bacon and most southerners wouldn’t use cheese in the grits. We love cheese grits but not with shrimp. I like your recipe, it looked delicious! Thanks for sharing!!
* Chef’s kiss * times 1,000 🤤💯
I think heavy cream and parmesean added to the sauce is a nice addition for Shrimp and Grits. It makes the sauce very creamy and delicious.
That fresh parm gives a nice saltiness without having to add extra salt.

Not bad, a little heavy on the red pepper, all you need is a little for some color, or just leave it out. I prefer to bake my bacon, it crisps up nicely and is easy to crumble. Saves time, while the bacon is baking you can do other things. Don't even really need the cheese for shrimp~n~grits. All you need is creamy grits, butta, a dash of hot sauce and shrimp.
Just made this today. And this was a delicious recipe and I want to thank you for showing this to all of us. It is definitely very delicious!! 🤤
Thanks so much for this recipe, John! I will be making it for my mom and sister
Beautiful! So simple and so delicious 😋
My mama always asks me to make Shrimp and Grits. I used Gouda Cheese one time and it was sooooooo good. I also topped with some shallots
your kitchen is Gorgeous!!!
A friend from SC sent me a bag of “the best grits” in the World… Palmetto Farms. They are white corn and I’ve been searching for just the right recipe to make shrimp and grits….. I FOUND IT!! Thank you John, I can’t wait to make your recipe. ❤
OMG I wish I could dive right through the I pad screen and straight into those grits and 🦐 shrimps!!! It looks absolutely amazing.
Thank you for sharing with us I really enjoyed watching and listening.
Have a great week John

Living in SC this is my go to dish to order at any restaurant that serves it. Plus I love making it. We are inland, but still close enough to the coast to be able to get head on shrimp. Using the heads and shells to make shrimp stock to use in either the grits or freeze for soup. I love trying different variations.
Brilliant John many thanks bless to your family
I literally just had shrimp and grits yesterday at a restaurant, and was craving it today! Will definitely be making 😁🤤
This is one of my favorite dishes -- I can't wait to make this recipe!
Thank you, It was a hit. I am going to fix it for the men at church on Saturday morning for men's fellowship breakfast.
I love all your recipes, but this shrimp and grits are wonderful!
Grits are ground up hominy. Hominy is corn that has been soaked in lye.
Southern belle here. I LOVE shrimp and grits! I also love cheese so I like to try different cheeses in my grits vs the same ol' cheddar. Gouda grits my current favorite; probably cause I love goat cheese. :)
Trying this!❤️thank you
Amo suas receitas, e a maneira como ensina.❤
Love this guys kitchen
That looks sooo delicious. Can’t wait to make once the weather cools off a bit. We normally make polenta with roasted sausage and fontina cheese. Our (Italian) version of this dish.
Thanks for your new spin on shrimp and grits. I learned to make the dish from my Creole Mom so you know it has tomatoes in it. I’m willing to try your recipe and compare the results! ❤
Ooh, fun and tasty experiment! Will you update your comment with the results if you remember??
i really want to make this recipe now. Lovely video and thank you.
Excellent method! It amazes me how many different approaches to shrimp and grits you find. Some people use cream in their shrimp gravy, which I just don't understand. I'm sure it's awesome.
Looks absolutely amazing great job as always
Wonderful amazing and fantastic recipe looks delicious 😋 enjoy your meal 👍
Love your videos! I love shrimp! Thank you so much 🫶🫶
Wow. That looks awesome.
That looks fantastic - thanks
Hey John while watching the video I was asking myself what is grits and there you told me I love love how you always tell us about the food you make "perfecto🎉"love the recipe 🎉❤
Ok John… I’m loving the shrimp & grits. It looks excellent. I may just have to do 1 myself.
Definitely will try this
Thx for this delicious recipe ❤
Can't wait to try this one!
Hi john ❤ please can you do some more air fryer recipes? I've just bought an air fryer oven so ive never used one before, but the cost of living is crazy in the UK so i would love some cheap, quick meal ideas ❤
this is delicious.😋❤ I love shrimp and grits. I rarely eat it together. I like to add butter and sugar to my grits.
❤ your cooking
Wonderful recipe, the only thing I would add would be a jalapeño or two. Looks incredible, thanks for sharing.
This looks so good
I’m making it for Sunday dinner Thanks ❤
Turned out amazing ❤🎉
I don’t know why I watch these recipes. I’m on a diet!
I truly love your stuff and I just don't watch, I cook.
There is also an Italian version of this meal with pancetta and Italian spices instead of cajun. This looks so yummy, though I must try this version, too. Thanks!
I have been eating New Orleans shrimp and grits since I was a wee lad. Like since the Nixon administration. I love all of your choices here. Keep up the good work. I do like to use the shells for the broth before I add it to the mix.
Add Louisiana smoked sausage and it's off the chain the best in South just a little Cajun twist 🪢
Hey John, could you do a half cup of Polenta and a half cup of Grits successfully? Cook times and all that good stuff. ❤️ GRITS!! And Polenta!🥰
I'll have to try this version! I've never purchased stone ground grits.
Great video. I live in Cyprus and they have polenta here. I'm making this over the weekend for sure.
Tomorrow is my birthday was planning to go eat somewhere NOT anymore will cook this for me definitely 🎉 THANKS
This looks so yummy and delicious thanks Kevin for sharing this recipe with us ❤❤❤ God/Jesus Bless you and your family
Girl his name is John not Kevin
Nice, yummy n delicious. 🙂😊😋.
We are making savoury foods too 😭😭😭😭😭 I am never leaving ❤️❤️
Soooo good
Love shrimp and grits wjth andouille sausage as well.
As a southerner, thank you for not making instant grits. I personally use white grits because it is what we serve for breakfast/brinner. My mom and I use a process similar to making risotto to make grits. Basically bring equal amounts of your liquid and grits to a slow, gentle boil. Turn down heat to simmer. Put on the lid and slowly add additional liquid (water) until the grits are soft and creamy. Most southerners don’t add stock to their grits but I admit that it would bring a welcome savory-ness to the dish. For the shrimp gravy, I add finely chopped Vidalia onions and mini-sweet peppers but omit parsley. I am sure yours is divine!!
You do make savory dishes l. Yay all I've seen is dessert recipes.
Super delicious ❤😊
Delicious and savory
Best channel on the Toobs!
John, this looks delicious, I must try it😁
My family loves shrimp and grits...
I like mushrooms sauteed in mine too
Yummy...do you ever eat grits with butter, salt, and pepper as a breakfast side dish?
Great video John😊😊
Instapots cook grits in 4 minutes. Soooo easy.
May I ask how you do it? Do they stick?
I use the shrimp tails in the water to flavor it .
Yummy ❤
You can look at grits like a blank canvas you can paint with spices, fats, and proteins, or you can find their beauty in their simplicity. I'm the latter.
Yum!
Finally been waiting on this😊
I use a smoked Gouda in my grits plus milk and water.
Yummmm 🤤
That's some serious eye porn John. Headed to the store now. 😁 Thanks for taking the decision making out of that annoying "What's for dinner" question tonight. You rock!
This looks great! I just made a similar dish on my channel. Hope to be like John someday
Greetings from belize
YUM !!! 😋😋😋😋😋👍♥️
two tablespoons of Worcestershire source will take this over the top!!
I love you say use 3 cloves of garlic or so (considering you also tell us that the measurement you give on garlic is the minimum) so considering 5 or would that over power the dish?
👍👍👍
As a UK resident, I’ve never had grits. But could I theoretically grind up polenta so I can make grits? Or will I have to keep an eye out at international grocery shops.
I like that you used your stove. Tired of watching ppl cook on induction burners.
cool
I’ve had lots of different shrimp and grits dishes. This wouldn’t be my choice of the one to cook. Tomato gravy. Okra.
Can I use Cornmeal inplace of Grits
I would love to try this but have a family member that has a shellfish allergy. Can't have any shellfish in my house at all. Is there anything I can substitute? I know it won't taste quite the same.
