Shopping List:
1 lb Jumbo shrimp
8 oz Andouille Sausage
4 slices thick cut bacon
2-3 tbsp all purpose flour
2-3 tbsp high quality butter
1 cup Old Fashioned Grits
2 cups Whole Milk
2 cups Chicken Stock (for grits)
1.5-2 cups Smoked Gouda Cheese
2 cups Chicken or Seafood Stock (for gravy/sauce)
Salt, pepper, garlic, Tony’s Creole Seasoning, Parsley
Fresh Lemon Juice
1 pinch of sugar (optional for grits)
1 small diced onion
2-4 stalks celery diced
1/2 bell pepper diced
1 tbsp better than bouillon Lobster Base (or chicken/veggie/garlic)
1 tbsp garlic paste
Lump Crab Meat (Optional)
Directions:
Start by frying your bacon in a skillet or frying pan. Remove the bacon once cooked and keep the bacon grease in the pan. Next, cook your andouille sausage and set aside. Next, add in your trinity (onion, bell pepper, celery) and cook until tender. Add butter to deglaze the pan a bit.
Season your peeled and deveined shrimp on both sides and cook in a skillet with a little butter or cooking oil. Reserve for plating as seen in the video
The Roux:
Once you’ve added your butter and cooked the veggies until tender, add in 1 tbsp of Better Than Bouillon Lobster Base (or chicken or veggie). Next, it’s time to add your flour. Whisk or stir the flour into the butter until it begins to thicken and develop your roux. Continue cooking this mixture until it reaches a golden brown color. Add 1-2 cups of stock (depending on consistency you want) Once the roux has reached the proper color, taste it and add some seasoning as needed. Now add in your sausage, and half of your bacon (crumbled). Add in chopped parsley and incorporate all ingredients. Taste as you go and adjust seasoning to your preference. Squeeze juice of half a lemon into the mixture and set aside until you make your grits.
The Grits:
Cook your grits to the package instructions. I prefer to use milk and chicken stock when cooking my grits instead of just water. I feel that it adds a bit of creaminess to the dish. 1 cup of grits, 2 cups milk and 2 cups stock. Once your grits are cooked to the package instructions, add your butter, salt, and pepper. Once the butter is melted, begin to mix in your cheese a little at a time over a reduced heat (heat should be on low at this point) You can add a pinch of sugar here if needed for balance. Add a slight dusting of Tony’s also if you’d like.
Plating:
Spoon your grits into a deep plate or serving bowl. Add your sauce/gravy on top. Top with the remaining bacon crumbles and the shrimp that you reserved for plating. Garnish with parsley and more fresh lemon as needed. - Zábava
“We’re gonna go in with a little more butter because we don’t care about our health.” 😩😆 Jesus, be a fence.
Lmaooooo I swear to God I didnt look at the comments til he said that this guy is hilarious
😂😂😂😂💯
I HOLLERED when he said, “We’re going in with a little bit more butter because we don’t care about our health” 💀 💀💀

Me, too!!!

The thicker the better sis💯
@@heavyhitter3543 Lol you’re absolutely right 💯

One of the doctors I work with had his wedding in Charleston, SC. They served shrimp and grits along with a low country boil. My absolute favorite wedding reception of all time.
You’re absolutely right, a good shrimp and grits dish will change your mind about not liking grits. It definitely did for me.
I am SO glad AB introduced me to your channel!! Love all the recipes, thank you for sharing!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👩🏾🍳👩🏾🍳👩🏾🍳
thanks for your support!
Me too. I'm here because of AB and I love it.
AB’s channel brought me right on here ( w/my hungry ass ) 🤣🤣🤣🤦🏽♀️
This recipe is fabulous AND it brings family together. My nephew tasted the shrimp and grits and immediately said, “Uncle Ronnie, can you show me how to make this.” We now have a brunch date to cook shrimp and grits!
Baby I made this today and it was so so good. I will never make grits any other way. I used chicken Andouille sausage and heavy cream instead of milk for the grits. Absolutely delicious 🤤
I’m with you I’ve always made my grits with milf and cream and there’s no goin back
Butter milk is really good
Yes on the heavy cream!!! They are so much better this way!
@@elijuh32 cups heavy cream instead of 2 cups milk?
Butter is Gods way of telling us we are loved
My son wanted shrimp and grits for his birthday dinner. I made this, w/o the lump crab this time, and let me tell you...... it was da bomb 💣. NOTHING was left and I doubled the recipe ❤
Thanks for sharing 👍🏾
Yes, yes, yes!!!!!! Finally a recipe with that good ole brown gravy. Making this over the weekend
thanks for your support!
Yes brown gravy the southern way. Not a white sauce!💗
That recipe was the bomb!!! Oh so good and you taught it perfectly and didn’t miss a step, like some do. Way to go!!!
I just made this and when I tell you this is better than ANY restaurant shrimp and grits I’ve ordered, I mean THEE BEST!! I can’t believe the execution of this dish…simply impeccable!!!
“We goin in with a little bit more butter bc we don’t care bout our health” 😂😂 he spittin 💯
When food looks this good, you can't help but keep watching. Wow! #lookinggood
I was just talking about wanting some shrimp & grits! Definitely making this today! 🙌🏾😩
This recipe was sooooo fye. I don’t think i can ever eat shrimp and grits another way. I could eat a plate of the gravy alone. Thanks 🔥
Looks like another hit!! “Skrimp” & grits is staple

I just made this dish this previous weekend. It was amazing! The gravy is everything! Thanks for the recipe.
I made it tonight and it was the best decision in my life😂😂😂 it was so good!!! I don’t eat pork so I just used the shrimp and MR.MAKE IT HAPPEN happened!! I also used the better than bouillon chicken and it was good too.
I made this recipe last December for a Christmas brunch and it was a huge success! Simple to prepare and sooooo, delicious!!!!!!

There's no substitute for the lobster base, it just makes it right. And "Better Than Bouillon" is the best, he's right about that, all their bases are great.
"Like we have during quarantine."
As he's teaching us how to make a 5 star meal with butter and fat. I subscribed for it though😂
lol at least I said "we"
Same 😂
Yummy. Can't wait to try this recipe.
Milk and chicken stock instead of water for the grits that genius!!❤
