God's Only Shrimp and Creamy Grits

🦐 O-O-H-L-A-W-E-E’S Signature Shrimp & Grits

A Memphis-terranean Southern favorite — creamy, cheesy grits topped with perfectly seasoned shrimp, melted cheddar, fresh scallions, and a touch of house spice.

📝 Ingredients

For the Grits

4 cups chicken broth (or half broth, half water)

1 cup stone-ground grits

1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

4 tbsp butter

½ cup heavy cream

Salt & pepper to taste

For the Shrimp

1 lb large shrimp (tails on, peeled and deveined)

2 tbsp butter or oil

1 tsp smoked paprika

1 tsp garlic powder

½ tsp cayenne (optional for spice)

Salt & pepper to taste

2 garlic cloves, minced

¼ cup chicken broth or white wine

1 tbsp lemon juice

Garnish

Sliced green onions

Extra cheddar cheese

Chopped parsley

2025/10/23 Edited to

Shrimp and grits is a beloved dish in Southern cuisine, known for its rich flavors and comforting textures. This recipe enhances the classic by using stone-ground grits, which provide a heartier texture and deeper flavor compared to instant grits. Cooking the grits in chicken broth and heavy cream creates a luscious base that’s creamy yet savory, perfectly complemented by sharp cheddar cheese. The shrimp component is equally important, seasoned with a blend of smoked paprika, garlic powder, and optional cayenne for a smoky, slightly spicy kick. Using tails-on, peeled, and deveined shrimp ensures a tender bite and attractive presentation. Sautéing the shrimp in butter or oil with minced garlic brings out rich, aromatic flavors, while the addition of chicken broth or white wine and a splash of lemon juice adds moisture with a subtle tang that brightens the dish. Garnishing with sliced green onions, extra cheddar, and parsley not only adds a pop of color but also layers fresh and sharp flavors that cut through the richness. This combination highlights the balance Southern cooking strives for—comforting yet vibrant. For those interested in variations, consider adding a smoky bacon crumble or a fried egg on top to elevate the dish further. This recipe can also be adapted for those preferring a lighter version by substituting heavy cream with milk and reducing the butter. Whether served for brunch, lunch, or dinner, this shrimp and grits recipe impresses with its authentic southern roots and bold flavors, making it a perfect introduction to Memphis-terranean cuisine for any food lover.
