1. In a medium pot or soup pot, bring the broth and milk to a boil. Add the grits, 1 tsp kosher salt, and 1 tsp freshly cracked black pepper, whisking well. Reduce the heat to low and cook until the liquid is absorbed, 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the butter, cheese, and more salt and pepper to taste. Cover until ready to serve.
2. In a large cast-iron skillet, fry the bacon over medium-high heat. When crisp, remove the bacon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to remove the excess grease and oil.
3. Add the shrimp and red pepper flakes to the bacon grease in the cast iron skillet, turn the heat down to medium, and saute the shrimp, flipping them over after a minute or so, and letting the other side cook, cooking about 3 minutes total.
4. Turn off heat and add minced garlic, stirring for about 30 seconds; the residual heat will cook the garlic through. The shrimp should be opaque entirely, and gently curl in. Stir in lemon juice and parsley, and season to taste.

The Best Lowcountry Shrimp And Grits Recipe Eat …

WebJun 24, 2019 · Make the roux: (equal parts fat and flour (technically by weight) to thicken the sauce). Melt ¼ cup butter in a small pan and …

1. Make the grits: Bring water, half and half, 2 Tbsp unsalted butter, and salt to a boil and slowly whisk in grits. Reduce heat to a simmer and cover. You will need to stir this every 3-5 minutes so the grits don't become lumpy and/or burn to the bottom of the pan. Slowly add more water or half and half as needed if the grits become too stiff. Cook for ~ 30 minutes (or according to package instructions).
2. Make the roux: (equal parts fat and flour (technically by weight) to thicken the sauce). Melt 1/4 cup butter in a small pan and slowly whisk in flour. Stir often and watch carefully as this paste is easy to burn (if you burn it, lower the heat, and start over). Cook ~ 5-10 minutes or until medium brown in color. Watch it carefully, it can burn quickly if you don't (see video). You can make the roux ahead of time. It is fine sitting for an hour or more as long as it's not still cooking in the pan (FYI - roux freezes well). Make the grits and roux at the same time, as they both require a little more attention than the rest of the meal.
3. Make the Shrimp & Sauce: Bring a large pot to medium high heat and add vegetable oil. When hot, add andouille and cook until browned. Remove andouille (keep any liquid in the pot) and cook chopped bacon in the same pot ~ 4-6 minutes or until done. Remove bacon, lower heat, and cook onion, peppers, and garlic in the pot ~ 5-7 minutes or until tender. Feel free to remove some fat if you feel like it's too much.
4. Place andouille, bacon, (and any liquid from it) back into pot and add chicken broth, lemon juice, lemon zest, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Bring to a boil, add roux, and let simmer ~ 15 minutes. Add shrimp & cook ~ 3-4 minutes or until shrimp are cooked through. Remove from heat and let thicken ~ 5 minutes before serving. You may need to add ¼ to ½ cup broth or water to your pot if the sauce has thickened to much.
