On Saturday Danny asked if he could come over to our place and cook dinner. Dallas is still out of town so he’d be cooking just for his girlfriend Caroline and me. Danny is a very good cook and has worked in some of the best kitchens around town – Shikago, Green Zebra, Nola’s Cup. Ok, that last one is technically in Oak Park, but you get what I’m saying. There’s no way I was going to say he couldn’t come over and use our grill and kitchen to make me dinner! So, this is what he made:
Grilled shrimp with grits and andouille sausage gravy. The creamy grits cut the spiciness of the sausage. Delicious. I probably hadn’t had grits since I was a kid. Half of my family is from the south and my dad would always make quick grits. I hated them! But these grits were so rich and creamy. . . probably because Danny used like 3/4 of a carton of cream! Let’s just pretend he didn’t. That cream just evaporated out of the carton (into my belly!).
Looks like a yummy dinner. Really enjoying your recent food postings!
thanks, scoop!
I obviously need more friends like yours!
Man, I want to dive right into that bowl…
I just had Shrimp and Grits w/Andouille gravy at Halyards (St. Simons Isl. GA). AWESOME! Looked VERY much like Danny’s! Think Danny would share the recipe??
My sister just went there and she raved about the shrimp and grits she had there. So I have
been on a hunt to find their recipe or a copy cat one. If you happen to find it, please share. Thank you.
Is it possible to receive a copy of the shrimp and grits and andouille sausage recipe that was featured in April2009. I noticed there were other recipes available but could not locate this one
Food network .com Emeril’s recipe
Looks like it might be close.
Try Emeril’s reicpe on Food Network .com if you don’t get the one featured in April 2009. If you do , please share. Thanks !
Where was it featured (in what) in April of 2009. I will help you track it down if you give me a few more details. Thanks.
I am also looking for a copy cat recipe for the shrimp and grits at halyards in St Simons Island. I have seen several recipes on line but not sure which one to choose. Wondering if the person that posted this picture is giving out the recipe??
