How to make New Orleans Shrimp and Grits

New Orleans Native Charlie Andrews Demonstrates on how to make his delicious shrimp and grits. This recipe serves about 4 people. There's a lot of shrimp and grits recipes out there but there's something about New Orleans shrimp and grits that make our recipe stand out above the rest. We use our very own Cajun and creole cuisines. We also use our own meat and seafood to make this dish. Our shrimp and grits consist of a flavorful, well-seasoned shrimp sauce with lots of shrimp and chopped andouille smoked sausage followed by a nice amount of buttery cheddar cheese grits and green onion to top it off. Very Delicious. I promise you will love it. Give this recipe and try and you'll see why New Orleans makes the best shrimp and grits.

Hey Charlie! Really appreciate the fact that you never put "the best" in your video titles or talk that way in general. The boastful/arrogant attitude is why I can't stand a lot of these YT channels. Can't wait for your next video!

[@reeeems]

looks amazing. this is the same process of how i was taught to cook shrimp and grits at home, growing up in south carolina. most of the recipes you see online rely on cheese and cream instead of shrimp stock and roux.

[@CharlieTheCookAndrews]

I appreciate the compliments. That is good to hear. Thanks for sharing!!

[@Itgyrl909]

I love that you make your stock directly and in each video. Most YT's already have the stock made and tell you to click on one of their other videos to see how its made, ugh. This is just one of the many steps that you do that separates you from the rest. We appreciate it & Keep up the Great Work!

[@CharlieTheCookAndrews]

Yes stock is flavor! I make it in just about every video lol Yes i dislike to send people to other video's just to watch how to do something that's included in the recipe lol Even when i first started doing video's i always used to say if you want to make this i have a full video on it but I'd still have the recipe in that video. I try to be different. I want to be different. Don't want to be compared to other channels. I am Charlie and "That's It"

I had this at a restaurant recently and couldn't figure out what the sauce was, it was so complex and flavorful. I found your recipe and just made this last night for friends and it was even better! I made the stock the night before to save time. This evening I added a splash of Marsala wine to the stock and cooked couscous in it and layered salmon on top. So good! Thank you!

[@CharlieTheCookAndrews]

Trust me whatever that sauce was I'm sure it probably wasn't from scratch lol I am happy to hear that it turned out good. I also see that you added your own little touch by adding the wine with the couscous and salmon! Very nice I like that! You're welcome and Thank you for leaving feedback!

[@tyrionlannister1628]

Awesome video, amazing looking shrimp n grits ❤️ I know this video was uploaded 2 or so years ago but while watching I noticed something and figured I’d throw it out there, when cutting almost anything use the “knuckle” technique, I saw it on some Gordon Ramsay “Kitchen Essentials” episode, you press your fingers directly down on whatever you’re cutting lay the side of the knife against your knuckle and chop straight down, making absolutely sure you keep your fingers tucked and use your knuckles as a guide for the knife, this will improve your cutting skills and help keep the slices unison ❤️👍 Once again you are one hell of a cook, can’t wait to make this!!

[@CharlieTheCookAndrews]

Knuckle technique??? Never heard of that one. I'll give it a try and see if I can stick with it. Thanks for the suggestion!

Hello Jim. Wow that's something. It's never too late to give it a try. I appreciate the compliments. You're welcome, not a problem. Let me know how it turns out. Thanks so much!

Mr. Andrews, this recipe is so on point!! Thank you for posting such a well paced, well instructed tutorial. I teach, and I pride myself of concise, meaningful instructions. I must say, you are a wonderful teacher. People can know a great deal of info, but fail to transfer that knowledge to others in ways that are clear, interesting, and engaging. I came across your video about a month ago and had been meaning to get to it, but put it off week after week until this weekend. I did grab the last few ingredients including the seasonings and the andouille sausage last weekend but still hesitated, lol. Ironically, I had never heard of that sausage until your video, and the day after I watched it, I heard of it again! I was showing my kids episodes of Justin Wilson's show on KZbin, and he mentioned it in an episode when making gumbo, I believe. I asked a young employee in the meat department about it, and together we located it-neither one of us had ever paid attention to it before that day, but now we know where it is:-). Today is my daughter's birthday and together, we followed your awesome recipe and it turned out great. The only seasoning missing was the Poultry, but it was magnificent still. We felt accomplished and hopefully would make you proud :-).

Hey Shawanda! You're welcome, not a problem. Glad I was able to help. I appreciate the compliments. I'm surprised that you never heard of Andouille Smoked sausage. I'm glad you all were able to find it and give it a try using this recipe. Happy to hear that the Shrimp and grits turned out wonderfully and that everyone enjoyed it. Yes I am proud of you all for doing such a great job and finding all of the ingredients minus the poultry magic but that's okay. As long as you got the job done and it tasted wonderfully. Thanks for leaving feedback!

Charlie, I’m a NOLA girl but never have I known anyone to cook grits WITH milk. We add milk and cheese once the grits are done. but everything else looks delicious. Glad I found your channel. Really love your seafood gumbo. Keep those recipes coming.
