Nathalie Dupree's Shrimp and Grits, revised

Great book. As a southerner I love the recipes.

I am a southern coastal cook, from a long line of exceptional cooks. My family goes back to Georgia coastal beginnings in 1771. I say this to make a point about this book. You only need one shrimp and grits book and this is it. In the end, I follow none of these recipes exactly but rather adapt and experiment but you could follow them and should follow them if you don't have a lot of experience. There are plenty of shrimp and grits recipes for entrées in the book but there are some unusual shrimp and grits starters as well. My old favorite of fried grits cakes makes several appearances in various forms, from fancy to down home. It is a fun book and truly Southern. Nathalie Dupree knows Southern cooking. Buy this book if you love Southern coastal cooking.

If you love shrimp and grits, this is the book for you! It included the shrimp and grits recipe from a great restaurant we visited in Charleston, SC. Can’t wait to make the dish!

Sent to a friend for birthday as he loves Grits. He lived the book.

Pictures of the end result

One amazing recipe after another for every palate and occasion. Having a blast working my way through. Do yourself a favor and buy real Charleston grits rather than the junk in the supermarket so you get the full experience. Recipes are clear and easy to follow. Pictures are beautiful. Of all I looked at this one is the best.

Having just visited Charleston and Savannah and the food was so delicious this book was perfect. I've made a couple of recipes and they turned out great. Hoping to work through some more after the holidays. I like that some of the chef's have contributed to the book and we ate at some of the restaurants.

We saw this book while in Charleston, SC where shrimp and grits are very popular. Instead of having to carry the book all day, I ordered it on Amazon and it arrived by the time we got home. This is a beautiful cookbook with lots of photos . We've tried several recipes and they are easy to prepare and delicious. There are many variations to try, everything from appetizers to desserts. The author gives great information on the sources of her recipes.
