This is an absolutely wonderful recipe - one of the best I've ever gotten from Food Network. This is a favorite in our house, and I'm always told I can make it again anytime I want.

But, this recipe gave me a better liking for them. If I ever make grits again, this would be the recipe I would use.

I made this dish for supper last night and what a treat! I could not bring myself to use cornmeal, even though it's kinda sorta the same as grits, had to use the "real" thing. Next time I make this I'll have to tweak the chicken broth ratio as it was a tad on the runny side but that was my doing. This recipe is delicious. Try it.....you'll be so glad you did!

The flavors in this dish were amazing and blended so well together. I guess I am just not Southern enough, because I had real trouble making the grits. Once blended with the butter and heavy cream, they were ok, but not what I expected on making my first batch of grits. This dish is so rich and filling, though, that I wouldn't want to have it too often. My husband loved it, too.

this was really yummy and easy. My roomie doesnt like seafood, so I made it with sausage only. Another time, I didnt have grtis on hand, so I used cous cous. This is in regular rotation at my home thee days.

I have ordered Shrimp & Grits in restaurants from Wilmington NC to Charleston SC and this receipe was better than any I tried in the restaurants. I made it for my brother while visiting, he asked me to make it for all of his golfing buddies. Great Hit.

I first experienced shrimp & grits in a resturant in Charleston, SC it was so good I was tempted to lick the bowl, they wouldn't give me the receipe, and it made my day today I would love to hug and kiss this fine young chef!




grits was not all that great but shrimp was great!

I think that this receipe is just shrimp and sausage thing would be better than to have both grits and shrimp together.It does not feel right in taste.I rather prefer to have shrimp thing on half plate and rice for half plate.

User: CLARENCE from Tampa, FL    User Rating:
As there are only two of us I cut the grits recipe in half and I used skim milk in lieu of cream that cut the calories. Also I sprinkled my shrimp with cajun seasoning before adding to the roux mixture. We both enjoyed it very much and I had some left over.




Really Bland

User: Carol from Manhattan Beach, CA    User Rating:
I was so looking forward to making this dish, as it looked great on Tyler's show. Unfortunately, I found it to be rather bland. That may be because the only andouille sausage I could find was the Aidell's packaged variety. It exuded very little fat, so I had to add butter to my pan to make the roux. I also found that I had to use an entire 11 oz. container of chicken stock to make enough sauce. All that aside, the whole dish was just bland, even after I added about 1/2 tsp. of cayenne pepper.

I love Shrimp and grits and have eaten them many times at places throught the South. This recipe is as good or better than any I have ever eaten. Excellent in all respects. One small thing, the amount of sauage and shrimp is too much for the gravey produced by the recipe. I cut the amounts in half and that was perfect, plus I got two meals out of recipe!




FORGET CHICKEN BROOTH

i normally boil my shrimp in old bay seasoning with a touch of cider vinegara. when finished cooking shrimp, save that water and use in place of chicken brooth. makes for a more intense shrimpp flavor in whole procuct

I had another Shrimp & Grits recipe that was from Oprah's show but this one is ten times better and easier to make. I gave the leftovers to my son & his future wife (in 2 1/2 weeks) and they just called and said it was so delicious that he wanted me to email the recipe to him right away. So that's 4 people who found it to be very very good. I would definately make this again.

I made this dish for the first time since our trip to Savannah, GA. This is a tasty one that was enjoyed by all. Next time I will add an additional 1 cup of chicken stock and increase the grits to 1 1/2 cups. They are very rich and thick! Also, with 2 pounds of shrimp and 1 pound of sausage in this recipe, it didn't have enough stock. Increasing the chicken stock to 3 cups and increasing the flour by one tablespoon will probably do the trick (or just decrease the amount of shrimp and sausage).




Never had grits much.....

Since moving from New England to Texas I had to try grits to become a adopted Southern Gal so...I had tried Blue Cheese grits before and liked them alot. So I saw Tyler making this dish and I couldn't wait to make it for the family I work for....it had a wonderful smoky flavor and the grits....well color me pink...they are great! I would however take the tails off the next time I make delicious southern classic. One dish you gotta make even if you live in New England!!

CORN MEAL IS NOT GRITS

User: JERRY from TAYLORSVILLE, GA    User Rating:
My Dear Tyler. Grits is much maligned enough without you confusing the issue. Corn Meal? Eat Charleston or Savannah style Shrimp and Grits and will see. Get Quick Grits - not instant grits and try your recipe. Grits is a more refined, if you will, polenta. You are a great chef and I like your show.




OMG SO GOOD!!!!

When my sister first told me about it I wasn't so sure that would be appetizing at first. Well one night my family wanted something so I cook 'Shrimp and Grits' and it was delicious. I've cooked it 3 times already (in just 3 weeks). We just loved it!

I made this last night for friday night dinner. It was very good...VERY GOOD!!! I give it four stars insead of five because of the "grits." Next time I make this, I will use real grits. The cornmeal was not "gritty" and had the consistency of Farina. However, there were no leftovers and my dinner guests called the next day asking when I was going to make this again. This recipe is definitely getting a laminated page in my recipe binder. Thnks Tyler!

This is a delicious version of shrimp and grits. Grits turned out very creamy with the addition of cream, could probably cut back cream to 1/2 cup and add additional 1/2 cup chicken stock. Shrimp and sausage topping was delicious as is. Would double grit recipe as I served this as an entree and had just enough grits, although everyone wanted more. The Shredded Pork Barbecue from this recipe is delicious as well.
